New York City Becomes First City to Join WHO’s Global Outbreak
Response Network
February 10, 2026
"Last week, the NYC Health Department joined the World Health
Organization’s (WHO) Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network
(GOARN), becoming the first municipal health department in the
United States to join this worldwide network of public health
organizations after the U.S. withdrew from the WHO in January
2026.
GOARN provides international public health information and
resources to control outbreaks and public health emergencies
across the globe. The NYC Health Department follows California
and Illinois health departments in joining GOARN."
“New York City is a global city with 8.5 million residents and
more than 12 million international visitors every year,” said
New York City Acting Health Commissioner and Chief Medical
Officer Dr. Michelle Morse. “To best prevent disease outbreaks
and public health emergencies and to protect New Yorkers and
visitors from them, the NYC Health Department is joining
hundreds of public health institutions worldwide that share
critical public health information to support life-saving
prevention and response efforts. Infectious diseases know no
boundaries, and nor should the information and resources that
help us protect New Yorkers.”

WHO Welcomes US States to its Global Disease Outbreaks Network
Pandemic Preparedness 12/02/2026
GOARN is a global network of public health institutions,
governments, academic bodies and laboratories that helps to
detect and control infectious disease outbreaks and public
health emergencies throughout the world.
Dr Maria van Kerkhove, WHO Director of Epidemic and Pandemic
Threat Management, said that GOARN is an “asset to the world”
that currently has over 360 members.
Established 20 years ago, members include national and
sub-national institutions with public health and field
experience in outbreak response and preparedness, she explained.
“We welcome anyone who wants to be part of GOARN to see our
website and fill in the application. It’s an incredible network
of national and sub-national institutes, student and academic
organisations that meet regularly and share information. They
are sometimes deployed to outbreaks around the world,” Van
Kerkhove told a media briefing on Wednesday.
