Global network launched by WHO to detect and prevent infectious diseases.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN), a global network that aims to detect and prevent infectious disease threats through pathogen genomics. The IPSN will connect countries and regions, improve systems for collecting and analyzing samples, and share information to drive public health decision-making. The network will focus on specific challenges and support funding for projects in pathogen genomics. The IPSN aims to give every country access to pathogen genomic sequencing and analytics as part of its public health system to detect and respond to disease threats before they become epidemics and pandemics.
