Disease Surveillance and Notification
In consortium with the University of Maryland, CCCRN was awarded GH15-1632 Global Health Security project to expand efforts and strategies to protect and improve public health globally. Following the 2015 Ebola Virus epidemic, the project strengthened reporting systems for early detection and response for diseases of public health importance.
On this project CCCRN supported the development of clinical and laboratory capacity for disease detection and notification. The project also piloted solutions for data collection from pharmacies, patent medicine vendors and also involved in antimicrobial resistance surveillance efforts
