PSI and our partners aim to improve the national capacity for timely and effective detection of, and response to, high priority infectious diseases. Our goal in strengthening Public Health Emergency Operations Centers (PHEOCs) is to improve national governments’ long-term capacity to monitor, prepare, and respond to disease outbreaks. We look to support PHEOCs with 1) enhanced disease surveillance and management information systems, 2) human resource development and training, 3) establishing their legal authority, and 4) developing standard operating procedures for emergency response planning.
