What role does Africa CDC play in emergency response?
During health emergencies, Africa CDC coordinates continental response efforts by deploying rapid response teams, providing technical support, and facilitating resource mobilization. The institution has been instrumental in responding to various outbreaks, including the recurrent Ebola outbreaks, cholera, and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Africa CDC also maintains an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) to manage and coordinate response activities efficiently.
