Global Disease Detection (GDD) Operations Center

Public health professionals put on protective gloves during the 2012 Ebola outbreak in Uganda.
We detect and support the investigation of outbreaks at the earliest stages, often before the cause is determined. Since 2007, the center has monitored and reported over 1300 unique outbreaks of more than 140 diseases occurring in over 150 different countries.
