This week, the @AfricaCDC continues to champion the capacity-building continuum for routine mortality data analysis, reporting, and dissemination. Our goal? To enhance early detection, prevention, and response to public health threats across the continent.
๐บ๐ฌ Last week, @AfricaCDC + @WHOAFRO led a mission under the #mpox Response Plan 2.0 to support Ugandaโs national efforts. The visit focused on evaluating the response, identifying gaps, and providing targeted support to accelerate outbreak control.
#MpoxContinentalResponse
Women are the backbone of public health across Africa, standing at the forefront of outbreak response, emergency preparedness, and health system resilience.
At @AfricaCDC, we honor the women in our ranksโscientists, epidemiologists, emergency responders, policy leaders, and moreโwho work tirelessly to protect communities and strengthen health security across the continent.
On this International Womenโs Day, we celebrate their unwavering dedication, expertise, and leadership. Their commitment continue to inspire progress toward a healthier, safer Africa.
