History
The concept of the Africa Union Center for Disease Control and Prevention was first identified at the AU summit in 2013. Since then, leadership has worked with the US CDC to further develop plans. The Africa CDC is currently set to be launched by mid 2015.

The Africa CDC will support its member states in responding to health emergencies like the Ebola outbreak, and will provide a platform for AU members to collaborate and share information in outbreak prevention, detection, and response.

Mission of the Africa CDC
To support AU member states in their efforts to effectively respond to public health emergencies.
