Abstract
|
|
|
|
The Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) is a network of institutions that provide technical support in the event of public health emergencies. In 2000, when it was originally established by the World Health Organization (WHO), it comprised 60 institutions. It has since expanded to more than 250 partner institutions. In 20 years, GOARN has involved with over 150 operations and deployed about 3,000 experts to assist more than 90 countries across the globe. Over the past two decades, epidemiology and surveillance experts accounted for one third of the GOARN deployments. This article outlines the overall scheme and procedures of GOARN deployments for a better understanding of this core network of international public health. In 2017, a new vision and the future direction of this network (GOARN 2.0) was established. GOARN is clearly a major gateway to contribute to emerging global public health threats.
