Description
Alba Méndez-Brito and colleagues published a 2025 survey mapping the world's public health intelligence teams, the groups that scan for emerging health threats. Fast detection depends on these teams cooperating across borders, yet nobody had catalogued who they are or what they do. The survey reached teams through regional disease control centers and global health networks.
The researchers identified more than one hundred thirty teams in eighty-seven countries, mostly inside public health institutes and health ministries. They recorded each team's methods, staffing, training, and challenges. A shared map of this landscape helps teams find partners, compare standards, and close gaps before the next health emergency.
