ECDC Director Dr. Pamela Rendi-Wagner and H.E. Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director General of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention met at ECDC’s offices in Stockholm to discuss deepening collaboration between the two CDCs.

The meeting was an opportunity for ECDC and Africa CDC to take stock of ongoing areas of cooperation and look ahead to future efforts to enhance African, European and global health security. Since 2021, both agencies partner on a project, funded by the European Commission, to contribute to health security in Africa and globally by strengthening emergency preparedness and response, surveillance, epidemic intelligence, and workforce capacity-building.
