The on-going responses in Africa are well-coordinated within each country and have the strong backing of Africa Union CDC.

Earlier outbreaks relied on US, EU, or other countries to participate with resources including staff. Now, Africa uses its own scientists, health care resources, and experts at the regional and continent members to rapidly detect, respond, and recover from any outbreak.

These have been a strong part of the US and WHO. Global resources have been invested in developing this expertise, including work from MRIGlobal, making Africa a partner in Global Health and One Health.
