GIC Overview
Global Outbreak Intelligence, Capacity Building and Deployment Coordination Center, so-called "GIC", was established in the Disease Control and Prevention Center(DCC) of the National Center for Global Health and Medicine(NCGM) in December 2022, for sufficient preparedness and immediate response against potential threats on infectious disease outbreaks all over the world.
Our missions have two focuses;
1. Capacity building and development for the Japanese experts on infectious disease control to be well-equipped by providing crucial information, knowledge and skills at series of events such as trainings, workshops and symposiums. We ensure they fulfill their duties and roles at the overseas mission.
2. Strengthening Networking and mutual collaboration with related institutions on infectious diseases across the globe by sharing information, accommodating delegations and co-organizing conferences and symposiums.
GIC sees human resource development as an essential key to reducing vulnerability to infectious diseases in and out of the country. We are one of the Japan GOARN partner institutions and promote the deployment of Japanese experts through the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) established by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
