We are a WHO network of over 250 technical institutions and networks globally that respond to acute public health events with the deployment of staff and resources to affected countries. Coordinated by an Operational Support Team based at the WHO headquarters in Geneva and governed by a Steering committee, we aim to deliver rapid and effective support to prevent and control infectious diseases outbreaks and public health emergencies when requested.
The Steering Committee (SCOM) of the Global outbreak alert and response network (GOARN) is a representative body of 21 partner institutions that oversee the planning, implementation and evaluation of the Network activities and strategic goals. The Committee fulfills the following functions:
The GOARN Operational support team (OST) is based at the World health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland and in various WHO Regional Offices supporting outbreak response at the regional level. The OST facilitates the day to day running of the network and coordinates outbreak response missions, network activities and communications for the Network. You can reach the Operational support team for more information on how to get involved with GOARN.
