German Health Minister Nina Warken and WHO Hub in Berlin highlight 2025 achievements 独保健相ニーナ・ヴァルケン氏、ベルリンのWHOハブによる2025年の成果を強調 ドイツ連邦保健相ニーナ・ヴァルケン氏は、ベルリンにあるWHOパンデミック・エピデミック・インテリジェンス・ハブを訪問し、2025年年次報告書の公表に立ち会った。 報告書は、人工知能、データサイエンス、病原体ゲノミクスを活用して、将来のパンデミックへの備えを強化した成果を示している。 WHOハブは160超の加盟国と190超のパートナーと連携し、異常な健康事象の早期検知を支援した。 AI強化版EIOSは120か国で利用され、国際病原体サーベイランスネットワークは101か国・309パートナーに拡大した。 気候、動物、移動などの情報を統合する協働サーベイランスも推進された。 Germany’s health minister Nina Warken visited the WHO Hub in Berlin as it launched its 2025 report, highlighting stronger outbreak detection through AI, collaborative surveillance, and pathogen genomics. The Hub worked with over 160 Member States, while its upgraded EIOS system reached 120 countries and IPSN expanded globally. who.int/news/item/19-03-2026… #人工知能 #感染症監視 #病原体ゲノミクス #artificialintelligence #epidemicsurveillance #pathogengenomics

PATHOGEN GENOMICS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH: PROFESSIONAL ONLINE COURSE SERIES This Harvard Medical School course series introduces the principles and applications of pathogen genomics in infectious disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, and public health decision-making. Designed for public health professionals, researchers, and learners, no prior genomics background is required.

Watch the highlights from the Phase II Close-Out Meeting of the @MastercardFdn Saving Lives & Livelihoods Pathogen Genomics Initiative in Nairobi. Through the support of the Mastercard Foundation, the Saving Lives and Livelihoods initiative transformed Africa’s ability to detect, track, and respond to infectious disease threats. This partnership laid the foundation for a continent-wide genomic surveillance architecture that will continue to protect Africa for years to come. Key milestones achieved through Mastercard Foundation’s SLL Pathogen Genomics initiative: 🔹 Strengthened pathogen genomics and bioinformatics capacity across the continent, supporting over 80 laboratories and training more than 1,500 experts. 🔹 Empowered public health professionals to lead sustainable genomic surveillance and outbreak response. 🔹 Expanded data-sharing platforms and analytical workflows for rapid detection, sequencing, and reporting of priority pathogens, supporting 24 countries to report on 56 outbreaks since 2021. 🔹 Advanced continental health security, establishing the Africa Pathogen Genomics Surveillance Network connecting all 54 AU Member States. Discover how this initiative has advanced public health preparedness in Africa and hear from the experts and partners driving this transformation. @MastercardFdn, @AfricaCDC #SavingLivesAndLivelihoods #PhaseII #PathogenGenomics #AfricaCDC #PublicHealth #GenomicSurveillance
