public health and health care in these populations; and developing training materials, educational activities, and communications for globally mobile populations (including mobile phone updates and notifications in appropriate languages) to increase awareness of infectious disease prevention.
IRC is in a unique position to conduct this work, as it works in more than 30 crisis-affected countries, developing relationships with other non-governmental organizations and providing healthcare and public health services to globally mobile populations in refugee camps, including hospital inpatient and outpatient services, vital registries, disease surveillance, community outreach, and public health campaigns to prevent vaccine-preventable and vector-borne diseases. In many of these situations, IRC has been designated the healthcare implementing partner by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and no other organization can take over this role. Therefore, they are uniquely positioned to support CDC's mission to prevent, detect, and respond to outbreak prone diseases in these populations.
