Global Disease Detection (GDD) Regional Center
With the Global Health Security Agenda as a central focus, the India GDD Regional
Center works to build capacity within local and regional public health entities to
rapidly detect, accurately identify, and promptly contain emerging infectious
disease threats. GDD projects include strengthening surveillance networks and
public health laboratory systems, providing technical assistance to improve
outbreak response, and bridging the human-animal interface to detect emerging
zoonotic disease threats.
