Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC)

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) is a specialized agency of the African Union dedicated to improving public health across African countries. It works to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks, such as Ebola and COVID-19, by coordinating efforts, sharing information, and providing technical support. Africa CDC aims to strengthen health systems, promote research, and ensure rapid, effective responses to health emergencies, ultimately protecting millions of people across the continent and building resilient health infrastructure for the future.
