The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides international technical assistance in support of a number of US government agency programs that aim at improving surveillance capability. CDC works with foreign government Ministries of Health and Agriculture to strengthen their existing national veterinary and public health laboratory systems infrastructure and capability in order to ensure reliability, timeliness and usefulness of laboratory data and reporting for detection, surveillance and response.
