Most nations, however, remain unprepared to manage and control complex health emergencies, whether due to natural disasters, emerging infectious disease outbreaks, or the inadvertent or intentional release of highly pathogenic organisms. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) works with countries and partners to build and strengthen global health security preparedness so they can quickly respond to public health crises. This report highlights selected CDC global health protection platform accomplishments that help mitigate global health threats and build core, cross-cutting capacity to identify and contain disease outbreaks at their source. CDC contributions support country efforts to achieve IHR 2005 compliance, contribute to the international framework for countering infectious disease crises, and enhance health security for Americans and populations around the world.</p> <section id="kwd-group1" class="kwd-group"><p><strong>Keywords: </strong> global health security, global health protection, public health, emergency response, International Health Regulations, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Field Epidemiology Training Program, vaccine-preventable diseases</p></section></section><hr class="headless"> <p>To contain health threats and ensure global health security, all countries must rapidly detect and respond to public health emergencies and, when overwhelmed, call upon global deployment capacity. This need is clearly evident, as the world is more susceptible to infectious disease threats due to increased international travel and trade, spread of newly emerging or reemerging microbes, and inadvertent release of dangerous pathogens from laboratories or bioterrorism acts.</p> <p>Following the 2002–2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus outbreak, which demonstrated how rapidly a pathogen could spread to 26 countries (<a href="#R1" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R1"><em>1</em></a>), the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2005 adopted the revised International Health Regulations (IHR 2005), a legally binding international treaty. In June 2007, all 196 WHO member states committed to reaching IHR 2005 compliance by 2012 (<a href="#R2" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R2"><em>2</em></a>). The 2009 pandemic of influenza A(H1N1) resulted in the first declaration of a public health emergency of international concern under IHR 2005 (<a href="#R3" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R3"><em>3</em></a>) and provided new evidence that the world was ill prepared for a global health crisis. Numerous threats followed H1N1, including cholera in post-earthquake Haiti in 2010 (<a href="#R4" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R4"><em>4</em></a>); Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in Saudi Arabia in 2012 (<a href="#R5" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R5"><em>5</em></a>) and its exportation to the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and the United States; West Africa Ebola virus disease in 2014 (<a href="#R6" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R6"><em>6</em></a>); chikungunya virus in 2013 and Zika virus in 2015 in the Americas (<a href="#R7" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R7"><em>7</em></a>); and yellow fever virus reemergence in Africa, China, and Brazil in 2015 (<a href="#R8" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R8"><em>8</em></a>). Despite these serious threats, only 33% of WHO member states had self-reported IHR 2005 compliance by December 2014 (<a href="#R9" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R9"><em>9</em></a>).</p> <p>Building and maintaining global preparedness for pandemic threats and IHR 2005 compliance requires coordination and technical expertise across multiple stakeholders. To protect Americans and the global community from health threats, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established a global health protection platform that works with ministries of health (MOHs); other partners (e.g., host country partners, WHO, nongovernmental organizations, and academic institutions); CDC country offices; and agency programs, including those dealing with influenza, emerging zoonotic diseases, HIV, malaria, and polio (<a href="#R10" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R10"><em>10</em></a>). CDC has also worked on building cross-cutting core capacities to ensure protection from these specific diseases and unpredictable new health threats through initiatives such as the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) and the Global Disease Detection (GDD) network (<a href="#R11" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R11"><em>11</em></a><em>,</em><a href="#R12" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R12"><em>12</em></a>). This report highlights selected CDC global health protection platform accomplishments, enhanced through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), that strengthen emergency mitigation and capacity-building partnerships dedicated to containing threats at their sources.</p> <section id="sec1"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Emergency Mitigation of Global Health Threats</h2> <section id="sec2"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Ending the West Africa Ebola Outbreak</h3> <p>The unprecedented 2014–2016 West Africa Ebola epidemic devastated Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, 3 of the world’s poorest nations (<a href="#R13" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R13"><em>13</em></a>). These countries accounted for >99% of reported cases (28,652) and deaths (11,325) from Ebola virus infections (<a href="#R6" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R6"><em>6</em></a>). Ending the epidemic required enormous efforts from affected countries and collaborations with international partners, including CDC (<a href="#R6" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R6"><em>6</em></a>).

In addition, in Phase I countries, CDC provides financial support for implementation of these action packages; substantial progress was achieved in the first year (<a href="#R16" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R16"><em>16</em></a><em>)</em>. To reduce the risk of emergent zoonotic infections, 13 countries have expanded surveillance systems in humans, wildlife, and animals to foster prevention (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>). Ten countries have expanded surveillance systems to include more vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), which should strengthen national vaccine delivery systems, including the capacity for emergency vaccination to mitigate an outbreak. For example, community-level monitoring can accelerate targeted immunization, halving the number of vaccine-preventable meningococcal disease cases in West Africa outbreaks (<a href="#R29" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R29"><em>29</em></a><em>,</em><a href="#R30" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R30"><em>30</em></a>).</p> <p>To enable disease detection and response efforts, a strong national reference laboratory system requires a tiered laboratory network, including capable central reference laboratories linked to regional and peripheral laboratories with appropriate testing capacities at each level; systems for timely and safe transport of samples and return of results; and procedures that assess and ensure quality. GHSA resources have supported enhanced training for laboratory technicians in 17 Phase I countries, and 16 countries have detected dangerous pathogens using new equipment (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>). All 17 Phase I countries have established or expanded the training of field-based epidemiologists, thereby greatly enhancing the number of staff that can detect and effectively respond to health threats at the subjurisdictional level.</p> <p>A national IMS with coordination of response through EOCs is essential for mitigating public health threats.

In response to the West Africa Ebola epidemic, FETP prioritized the expansion of FETP-Frontline programs, providing a 3-month training for district surveillance officers to improve local disease detection and response. During 2014–2016, CDC supported 24 new FETP-Frontline programs, mentoring >1,860 participants (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>). </p></section><section id="sec12"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">International Influenza and Respiratory Diseases</h3> <p>Since the 1980s, CDC has supported influenza surveillance and laboratory capacity globally. As of June 2017, CDC supports influenza activities in 79 countries, assisting MOHs and other laboratory partners in the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response Network in the early detection of potential pandemic threats and provides the world with access to new influenza strains to enable the development of effective seasonal influenza vaccines and vaccines against novel influenza strains that have pandemic potential (e.g., the H7N9 avian strain currently circulating in China) (<a href="#R32" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R32"><em>32</em></a>). With GHSA support, the online International Reagent Resource portal (<a href="https://www.internationalreagentresource.org/" class="usa-link usa-link--external" data-ga-action="click_feat_suppl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.internationalreagentresource.org/</a>) has provided reagents to national influenza laboratories and other respiratory disease laboratories worldwide.</p> <p>CDC has supported global laboratory networks for polio, measles, and rubella for several decades, providing diagnostic testing, technical support, training, and reference laboratory services. Since 2001, CDC has worked with MOHs, WHO, and the Meningitis Vaccine Project, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to develop and administer meningococcal vaccines to millions of persons living in the Africa meningitis belt and leads the MenAfriNet Consortium to enhance surveillance to monitor the effectiveness of vaccines and emergence of new meningococcal strains (<a href="#R33" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R33"><em>33</em></a>).</p> <p>GHSA supports MOHs to conduct surveillance for severe respiratory diseases and other illness clusters. To support this effort, laboratories are provided with test kits and reagents, packaging and shipping protocols, and training in advanced molecular testing methods, allowing detection of multiple pathogens simultaneously.</p></section><section id="sec13"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">International Emerging and Zoonotic Diseases</h3> <p>Most known, new, or emerging infectious disease threats are zoonotic in origin (<a href="#R34" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R34"><em>34</em></a><em>,</em><a href="#R35" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R35"><em>35</em></a>). Zoonoses are responsible for an estimated >2 billion human illnesses and 2 million human deaths annually (<a href="#R36" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R36"><em>36</em></a>). Under GHSA, many countries are undertaking efforts to identify and prioritize zoonotic diseases of greatest national concern through a One Health approach (i.e., linking human, environmental, and animal health) (<a href="#R37" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R37"><em>37</em></a>). This approach helps a country focus limited resources for surveillance, laboratory capacity building, outbreak response, and prevention and control efforts and helps to enhance communication, collaboration, and engagement across critical sectors of government. With technical assistance from experts on zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases, many countries have initiated surveillance to establish etiologies of acute febrile illness. These efforts have begun to increase countries’ capacity to collect sterile specimens; prepare, store, and ship specimens; and collect and report data to clinicians and surveillance systems. Acute febrile illness surveillance has contributed to countries’ understanding of etiologies and pathogen-specific disease burden and can inform clinical algorithms and care and treatment of patients with acute febrile illness. GHSA implementation has demonstrated that enhancing disease-specific capacity improves national public health capacity building overall. Coordinated efforts between cholera experts and emergency management to prevent, detect, and respond to cholera in Cameroon have led to increasing timeliness of EOC activation for other outbreaks. Preventing zoonotic or emerging infectious diseases is one of the critical tenets of GHSA. CDC infection, prevention, and control experts are supporting efforts to build infection control and antimicrobial drug resistance capacity in 10 GHSA Phase I countries. During the West Africa Ebola epidemic, widespread gaps in infection, prevention, and control systems and resources led to outbreak amplification (<a href="#R38" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R38"><em>38</em></a>). Today, these national policies and practice guidelines are in the Ebola-affected countries to help support sustainability of these efforts.</p></section><section id="sec14"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Global VPD Activities</h3> <p>Country capacity to conduct high-quality VPD surveillance is critical to increase coverage to prevent, detect, and respond to VPD outbreaks. CDC has supported global laboratory networks for polio, measles, and rubella for several decades, providing diagnostic testing, technical support, training, and reference laboratory services. An effective multidisciplinary workforce, including epidemiologists, laboratorians, and data managers, is needed to collect, analyze, and report VPD surveillance data that are accurate, timely, and useful for decision making.</p> <p>Since 1998, CDC has provided technical and financial support to develop VPD surveillance capacity in low- and middle-income countries through the Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) program of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (<a href="#R39" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R39"><em>39</em></a>). Through July 2017, a total of 2,010 STOP volunteers have been trained in surveillance principles to detect and respond to polio and other VPDs. These volunteers have deployed in 48 teams for 3–6-month assignments to 77 countries (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>) (<a href="#R39" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R39"><em>39</em></a>). STOP volunteers have played a crucial role in enhancing country capacity to respond to outbreaks of other priority infectious diseases, contributing to CDC’s global health protection platform. CDC also has supported 4 countries at high risk for polio to build their own national STOP programs (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>) (<a href="#R40" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R40"><em>40</em></a><em>–</em><a href="#R42" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R42"><em>42</em></a>). VPD surveillance also helps build countries’ public health systems. For example, in Nigeria in 2014, the polio EOC quickly converted to respond to Ebola (<a href="#R43" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R43"><em>43</em></a>).</p></section><section id="sec15"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">National Public Health Institutes </h3> <p>National governments are responsible for keeping their citizens healthy and addressing public health challenges. To that end, many countries have established national public health institutes (NPHIs) to carry out essential public health functions, including outbreak detection and response (<a href="#R44" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R44"><em>44</em></a><em>,</em><a href="#R45" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R45"><em>45</em></a>), and facilitate progress toward IHR 2005 compliance. CDC is the US government’s NPHI and is 1 of >100 members representing 88 countries in the International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI) (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>). With IANPHI, CDC directly supports >20 IANPHI countries in establishing or strengthening their own NPHIs (<a href="#F2" class="usa-link">Figure 2</a>) through developing strategic plans aligned with public health priorities, determining necessary policy changes, creating sustainability plans, and providing technical assistance (<a href="#T1" class="usa-link">Table 1</a>).</p></section><section id="sec16"><h3 class="pmc_sec_title">Public Health Implications and Future Directions</h3> <p>Outbreaks, regional epidemics, and pandemics are costly (<a href="#R46" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R46"><em>46</em></a><em>–</em><a href="#R50" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R50"><em>50</em></a>). During February–July 2003, SARS spread across 4 continents, infected 8,100 persons, killed 774 persons, and cost the global economy $40 billion (<a href="#R46" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R46"><em>46</em></a>). In the first year of the 2009 influenza H1N1 pandemic, >575,400 persons succumbed worldwide (<a href="#R47" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R47"><em>47</em></a>). A severe influenza pandemic could cost as much as 4.9% of the world’s gross domestic product (<a href="#R48" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R48"><em>48</em></a>). In 2015, the West Africa Ebola epidemic cost Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone about $2.2 billion (<a href="#R49" class="usa-link" aria-describedby="R49"><em>49</em></a>).</p> <p>Because of the recognized need to achieve IHR 2005 compliance worldwide to ensure health security, increasing number of countries that have made GHSA commitments, and early progress achieved with GHSA implementation, the world is becoming better prepared to respond to threats. CDC is helping advance health security through its global health protection platform. More work is needed and momentum in GHSA implementation needs to be sustained so Americans and citizens around the world will have enhanced protection from newly emerging infectious diseases and other health threats.</p></section></section><section id="ack1" class="ack"><h2 class="pmc_sec_title">Acknowledgments</h2> <p>Members of the Global Health Science Group: Elizabeth Bell, Andrew T.
