CEPI and PAHO unite to enhance regional preparedness against diseases

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) have solidified their commitment to bolstering epidemic and pandemic preparedness across the Americas and the Caribbean.

Promoting equity in health access

Under a newly signed memorandum of understanding (MoU), both organizations are dedicated to advancing infectious disease prevention, response, and equitable access to vaccines and health technologies throughout the region.

Facilitating collaborative action

The partnership aims to facilitate collaborative efforts by sharing technical expertise, knowledge, and experience. 

CEPI and PAHO will work hand in hand to support member states and partners in vaccine research, development, and rapid deployment against emerging infectious diseases.
