A consortium of partners, including FHI 360, PATH, CRDF Global, the University of Washington, SAVICS and Project ECHO, are implementing the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Enhancing Global Health Security: Expanding Efforts to Protect and Improve Public Health Globally (EGHS) project.

EGHS works to achieve the goals outlined in the Global Health Security Agenda and support governments in implementing the World Health Organization’s International Health Regulations (2005) by strengthening regional and national capacity to prevent, detect and respond to public health threats using the One Health approach. This involves improving national laboratory systems and emergency response operations and strengthening and expanding the public health workforce,

EGHS has worked in Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Ghana, Guinea, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Senegal, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, the West Africa region and Zambia.
