At the opening of CDC's Global Health Security Meeting on March 2014, Dr. Tom Frieden and Bill Foege laid out the vision for Global Health Security. Dr. Michelle McConnell, Country Director for CDC-Vietnam and Jeff Borchert, Health Scientist in CDC's National Center for Enteric and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, described global health security demonstration projects in Vietnam and Uganda. These projects conducted in 2013 demonstrated how concentrated efforts between CDC and its country partners could rapidly build and enhance capacities to prevent, rapidly detect, effectively respond to infectious disease threats. By building and strengthening laboratory networks, information systems, and emergency operations centers, CDC and its partners showed how global health security can be accelerated.
