Disease Control
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to monitor neglected global health threats.
Answered by Chris Elmore
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office works with the UK Health Security Agency, World Health Organization (WHO), and other international partners to monitor a broad range of global health threats through established international surveillance systems. We support global disease surveillance networks, early‑warning systems and programmes that strengthen countries' capacity to prevent, detect and respond to disease outbreaks, including through our multilateral investments to WHO, the Global Fund, Gavi and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.
