Preparing for and Responding to Health Threats in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, many of the tools, health systems and infrastructure used to fight HIV, TB and malaria are vital in responding to other disease outbreaks, such as this year’s mpox epidemic.
This includes disease surveillance systems used to identify and contain new cases, high-tech laboratories to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis and training community health workers to educate people on disease prevention and care.
Fighting HIV, tuberculosis and malaria not only saves lives - but also helps countries prepare for and rapidly respond to emerging health threats.
