The region, which is home to approximately 427 million people, is served by CDC SAMRO based in Brasilia, Brazil. SAMRO supports CDC staff placed in Argentina and Ecuador. In addition, CDC has one country office in the region (in Brazil).</p> <p>CDC historically had a small footprint in South American countries in the region. However, through a variety of collaborations, CDC programs have made progress on public health issues including, but not limited to, Zika, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, influenza, vaccine-preventable disease, foodborne and waterborne diseases, and high consequence pathogens. Over the years, there has been major progress in the control of these threats. However recent issues, such as economic and humanitarian crises, have led to considerable challenges to public health systems across the region. </p> <p>In addition to personnel in the region, subject matter experts at CDC headquarters in Atlanta, GA, provide technical support to these offices, as well as to partners across the region.</p> </div> <div class="dfe-section"
