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,
