The United States (U.S.) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working to help the Côte d’Ivoire Ministry of Health meet key International Health Regulation (IHR) (2005) requirements through implementation of priority Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) activities. The objectives of this program are to strengthen Côte d’Ivoire’s health system capacities to prevent, detect and respond to infectious disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.
The program emphasizes further improving core GHSA priority capacities in disease surveillance, laboratory diagnostics, emergency preparedness and response, public health workforce development, and strengthening of anti-microbial resistance stewardship. This program includes a particular focus on strengthening disease surveillance through the establishment of an event-based surveillance system in high-risk border districts, reinforced through public health staff training and supervision.
This program will also support building Côte d’Ivoire’s capacity to respond to disease outbreaks and public health emergencies through the training and mentoring of a cadre of public health workers in each of the 101 districts in Côte d’Ivoire in field epidemiology and emergency preparedness and response, reinforcing these capacities via field simulation exercises.
