International Collaborations
AFRIMS maintains a network of infectious disease surveillance and data-sharing partnerships with U.S. embassies and regional partners across Asia as part of its Global Emerging Infections Surveillance (GEIS) reporting responsibilities. These activities seek to provide a snapshot of circulating viral pathogens in a particular time and space to inform force health protection and public health efforts.
