CDC Global Health Story Highlights of 2024
Throughout 2024, CDC has been on the frontlines tackling the world's top infectious diseases. Using our Global Health Strategic Framework as a guide, we strengthen public health systems, protect Americans by stopping outbreaks at the source, build global health security, and support health diplomacy to save lives around the globe.




From preventing the spread of deadly outbreaks to developing new vaccines against harmful diseases, our stories illustrate the impact of CDC’s global health efforts.

First Case of Avian Influenza in Ecuador

After Ecuador reported its first-ever human case of avian influenza A (H5N1 bird flu), public health professionals in CDC's Field Epidemiology Training Program and the Global Laboratory Leadership Programme played a crucial role in identifying and containing the illness. Samples were sent to the WHO Collaborating Center for Influenza in Atlanta where CDC verified that existing candidate vaccine viruses were closely related to the identified H5 virus.
