Outbreak Observatory
Outbreak Observatory aims to collect information on challenges and solutions associated with outbreak response and share it broadly with the public health preparedness and response communities to allow others to learn from these experiences in order to improve global outbreak response capabilities.
The Bifurcated Needle
The blog will aspire to offer simple, effective, and sometimes unexpected solutions to difficult health security challenges.
