About this Cluster

The aim of this cluster is to contribute for the improvement of the quality and effectiveness of healthcare services and systems through supporting the region and other non-state actors.

    • Coordinate evidence-based preparedness and response to prevent, contain and mitigate public health emergencies.
    • Provide training to solve the health problems of the community.
    • Support universities to train highly skilled health professionals in advanced levels.
    • Contribute to the expansion of quality health care, education and research in the region.
    • Support the region to control and eradication of communicable disease.
    • Promoting effective communication and coordination of care
    • Promoting the most effective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality
    • Working with communities to promote wide use of best practices to enable healthy living.
