Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN)

The Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) is an international collaboration of organizations and experts that work together to quickly detect, assess, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks worldwide. When a new or serious health threat arises, GOARN coordinates resources, shares information, and mobilizes trained teams to help contain the disease and prevent its spread. Its goal is to enhance global health security by providing a rapid, coordinated response to outbreaks, minimizing their impact on populations and healthcare systems.
