Since its establishment in 1997, the US Department of Defense (DoD) Global Emerging Infections Surveillance (GEIS) program has provided support for infectious disease pandemic preparedness and response. The GEIS program has shown the value of having a central hub responsible for coordinating a global network of DoD laboratories that conduct surveillance for militarily relevant infectious disease threats. The program has supported the establishment and maintenance of capabilities for collecting, characterizing, and reporting on major infectious disease events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and mpox outbreak. The GEIS program enables the US government to mitigate infectious disease threats to DoD mission readiness and to effectively respond to pathogens worldwide. Continued investment in maintaining the GEIS program and its network is critical for timely detection and response to future emerging infectious disease threats in various populations within locations where gaps in US government or host-nation surveillance might exist. |
