Global Health Security, Border Quarantine & Biosurveillance Team

Securing borders against biological threats through quarantine operations and global biosurveillance.

Mission Statement

The Global Health Security, Border Quarantine & Biosurveillance Team operates at the intersection of international travel, trade, and biological threat detection — maintaining the border health security systems that prevent the international spread of dangerous pathogens. The unit manages quarantine operations at ports of entry, operates global biosurveillance networks that provide early warning of emerging biological threats, and advises on the International Health Regulations compliance that underpins global health security architecture.
