Project activities include: (1) helping countries and regions to detect, report and share information on disease outbreaks; (2) building resilient health systems that can withstand health emergencies, including trained healthcare workers, safe health facilities, and tools and materials needed to adequately deliver health services; (3) building trust and improving communication within communities; and (4) improving equitable access to vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and essential supplies.
