Our approach

Our agency has a network of regional and country offices in over 70 countries. Incorporating a regional approach strengthens our ability to:

  • Implement sustainable, long-term overseas structures.
  • Expand the reach of technical assistance and programs.
  • Respond rapidly to disease outbreaks.
  • Efficiently leverage assets and financial resources.

Through all our overseas platforms, our agency is in a better position to prevent, detect, and respond to health threats and infectious diseases. This also enables us to address broader health issues that have tremendous impacts worldwide.
