Round 1 – 2022
Interventions to Enhance Epidemic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Outbreak Response
Background
GC Senegal’s inaugural funding call focuses on fortifying health systems and enhancing disease detection across Africa, with a focus on the ECOWAS region, by employing novel approaches in diagnostics, surveillance, and healthcare education. From mobile-based systems for infectious disease testing to rapid diagnostic tools for viral infections, these initiatives strengthen public health responses and resilience in at-risk communities. By integrating advanced technology and community-driven strategies, this cohort lays a foundation for scalable health solutions across the continent.
