SUPPORT OF GLOBAL HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS

To strongly support the mission and work of global health organizations in their role in public health preparedness, prevention, and control to improve the health and well-being of people globally.

Rationale

In an age of global travel between and among countries, efforts to prevent, control, treat, and eradicate diseases and conditions that decrease health and well-being are critical to all countries, regardless of factors such as income and education. New vectors of disease transmission and behavioral conditions related to lifestyle and environmental conditions continue to provide challenges that need to be addressed. Domestic and international organizations that provide evidence-based warnings, guidelines, education, research, and advocacy, and that collect data to help countries prepare their public health infrastructure, are essential in providing people around the world with the tools and resources needed to address critical health issues globally.
