Global Health Security


Chemonics works with partners to strengthen global health security by supporting supply chains and enhancing surveillance, laboratory networks, and vaccine delivery. Our efforts help countries build resilience to public health threats by improving their ability to prevent, detect, and respond effectively. We ensure continuity of care during crises so health systems can protect communities when it matters most.

Global Health Emergency Prevention

We prevent future health threats through strategic planning and innovative finance.

Chemonics helps clients and partners proactively build resilience against future health threats by developing national action plans, monitoring frameworks, and public awareness campaigns. Our services range from advisory support for immunization initiatives to designing results-based financing mechanisms to accelerate vaccine uptake. We also conduct simulation exercises to test emergency preparedness plans and identify gaps in epidemic response systems. These services enable stakeholders to strengthen their health systems and prepare for emerging threats with confidence.

Disease Surveillance and Detection

We deliver integrated digital surveillance solutions that empower rapid, coordinated, and data-driven responses to public health threats.

Chemonics works closely with partners to offer end-to-end support for building real-time surveillance systems that enable rapid, data-driven responses to public health threats. Our services range from the design and deployment of digital platforms that track traveler movement and potential disease transmission threats, to developing mobile applications that provide real-time dashboards for supply chain managers. We also establish and strengthen emergency response groups and multisectoral platforms to coordinate surveillance activities and link them with emergency operations centers. These capabilities ensure that stakeholders can detect, monitor, and respond to epidemic threats with speed and precision.

Global Health Emergency Response

We help partners mobilize rapid, coordinated emergency responses through smart workforce deployment, resilient supply chains, and scalable preparedness tools.

Our emergency response services focus on rapid mobilization, coordination, and supply chain readiness. We strengthen health workforce response readiness through digital systems that enable strategic redeployment of personnel and optimize resource allocation. Our emergency supply chain advisory services support logistics operations, warehouse management, and commodity verification during crises. We also offer a customizable emergency supply chain playbook that helps governments and health officials operationalize response protocols, improve stakeholder communication, and scale preparedness efforts.

Building Public Health Emergency Preparedness: From Tools to Action

Chemonics worked with national governments in several countries to improve the infrastructure, tools, and trained personnel needed to manage global health threats, such as disease outbreaks and health emergencies, in order to improve response times, reduce the risk of widespread transmission, and prevent long-term health consequences.
