Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Is Closing Gaps in Disease Detection
In 2017, the African Union established a new continent-wide public health agency, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC).

| description | In 2017, the African Union established a new continent-wide public health agency, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC). Many outbreaks are never detected in Africa, and among outbreaks that are detected, countries often respond slowly and ineffectively. To address these problems, Africa CDC is working to increase early detection and reporting, improve access to diagnostic tests, promote novel laboratory approaches, help establish national public health institutes, improve information exchange between health agencies, and enhance recording and reporting of acute public health events and vital statistics. The health security of Africa will be strengthened by this new public health agency's ability to build comprehensive, timely disease surveillance that rapidly detects and contains health threats. |
