27 countries launch effort to fight outbreaks!!!!!

The goal of the new effort: Over five years, the US will partner with other countries to bolster local disease monitoring, develop tests for different pathogens and help regions create and strengthen systems to report and respond to public health emergencies.

Last year, the CDC began a pilot project in Uganda to improve detection of such diseases as cholera, drug-resistant tuberculosis and haemorrhagic fevers. This year, the CDC and Defense Department together will spend $40 million (Dh146.92 million) for similar projects in 10 other countries, which are yet to be named. In 2015, the Obama administration is seeking $45 million in new funding to further expand the work.
