The Biden administration has unveiled a new initiative aimed at assisting 50 countries in identifying and responding to infectious diseases to prevent future pandemics like the COVID-19 outbreak that brought the world to a standstill in 2020.
Government officials from various U.S. agencies, including the State Department, CDC, HHS, and USAID, will collaborate with these countries to enhance testing, surveillance, communication, and preparedness for potential outbreaks.
