Global epidemiological networks function through a combination of:
Data Sharing: Countries and institutions share epidemiological data through platforms like the Global Health Observatory, enabling real-time tracking of health trends. Capacity Building: Training programs and technical support help build local capacity for disease detection, surveillance, and response. Research Collaboration: Joint research projects and clinical trials facilitate the development of new diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines. Policy Coordination: International health regulations and agreements help harmonize public health policies and responses across borders.
