The global reach of our programs
Often, emerging pathogens strike in remote areas of the globe that are ill-equipped to identify them, yet we know that identifying new and re-emerging disease threats is essential to global health security. Our programs are backed by nearly 60 years of experience, with activities in over 25 countries. We have long-standing ties with partner organizations working on health initiatives in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, with particularly strong ties to French-speaking countries.
