CDC has long collaborated with Ministries of Health in Central Asia to better recognize and respond to serious public health threats. In 1995, CDC formally established a Central Asia Regional Office in Kazakhstan to serve as the home base for coordinating activities throughout the region. Within the region, CDC aims to strengthen capacity to detect, prevent, and control disease and to respond to public health threats.
