The highly-anticipated BioMed Central (BMC) journal supplement, “Ten Years of Global Disease Detection and Counting: Program Accomplishments and Lessons Learned in Building Global Health Securityexternal icon,” highlights the successes and lessons learned through CDC’s Global Disease Detection (GDD) program and its Regional Centers (RCs) around the world that have laid a foundation to further global health security around the world and the United States.
With 10 RCs that support more than 100 countries, the GDD program conducted groundbreaking public health research, detected diseases before they became significant threats, developed or deployed new laboratory tests to identify sources of illness, established collaborative workforce training programs such as the Field Epidemiology Training Program, and built in-country capacity to respond faster and smarter to outbreaks.
