CDC in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) began working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in 2002 with an initial focus on health systems strengthening. CDC\u2019s support expanded with the launches of the U.S. President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2004 and U.S. President\u2019s Malaria Initiative (PMI) in 2005. Since 2015, CDC works with the Government of DRC through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) to address other infectious diseases and strengthen laboratory systems, preparedness and disease outbreak response, surveillance, and workforce capacity to respond to disease outbreaks.CS329448-AS | 09222022DRC_2022.pd
