The MOU puts Americans first by safeguarding our nation from infectious disease threats, while also supporting Cameroon to build robust, self-reliant health systems. Over the next five-years, the Department of State, working with Congress, plans to provide nearly $400 million in health assistance. Cameroon has committed to increase its own health expenditures by $450 million. Through this MOU, the United States and Cameroon will focus on key areas of global health cooperation, including funding frontline health commodities and health care workers, strengthening laboratory networks, and modernizing data systems with secure, interoperable digital tools that enhance disease surveillance and outbreak preparedness. This MOU represents a bold step forward in our commitment to make America safer, stronger, and more prosperous through smart and strategic investments in global health systems. The United States remains committed to signing multi-year Bilateral MOUs on Global Health Cooperation  in the coming weeks with dozens of countries receiving U.S. health assistance to advance the America First Global Health Strategy.  Tags Bilateral Relations and Engagement Bureau of African Affairs Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy Cameroon Disease Prevention, Detection, and Response Health and Medical Cooperation Health Security Healthcare, Health Infrastructure, and Health Workers Office of the Spokesperson Manage Subscriptions | Unsubscribe-All | Privacy Policy | Subscriber Help External links found in this content or on Department of State websites that go to non-Department websites should not be construed as an endorsement of the views or privacy policies contained therein.  This email was sent to caterresearch9.news@blogger.com using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: U.S. Department of State · 2201 C Street NW · Washington, DC 20520
