The CDC’s Center for Global Health
Thomas R Frieden, Kevin M De Cock

Preview
The strategy of the recently established Center for Global Health (CGH) at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is to enhance the public health capacity of global partners, increase global health security, and maximise the health impact of specific programmes and interventions through a focus on scientific rigour, scalability, and sustainability. We welcome the opportunity to describe the work of CGH1 and are committed to continuing to increase our impact.
