Description

The U.S. Government’s (USG) Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) envisions a world safe and secure from global health threats posed by infectious diseases—where it is possible to prevent or mitigate the impact of naturally occurring outbreaks and intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogens, rapidly detect and transparently report outbreaks when they occur, and employ an interconnected global network that can respond effectively to limit the spread of infectious disease outbreaks in humans and animals, mitigate human suffering and the loss of human life, and reduce economic impact. http://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/security/pdf/ghs_overarchingtarget.pdf. In partnership with Ministries of Health and other public and private stakeholders and shareholders (donors such as World Bank, Gates Foundation), the USG seeks to accelerate progress toward a world safe and secure from infectious disease threats and to promote global health security as an international security priority. https://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/201/12/04/why-global-health-security-emergency
