Membership
Members of the network
All Member States with Public Health EOCs (PHEOCs) in the WHO African Region are members of the Regional EOC network. In addition, those Member States which do not have PHEOCs participate in the network to learn from others as they endeavor to establish one. Other regional organizations such as WAHO and Africa CDC are also members of the network.
The Network welcomes members from the public and private sectors, civil society, foundations, technical agencies and operational entities.
