What is CAREC Health Cooperation?

The CAREC region is becoming increasingly interconnected, with a growing mobile population and rapidly developing urban hubs. Since public health threats such as infectious disease outbreaks can quickly cross borders and become a cross-border concern, it is time to address them jointly and regionally. CAREC countries need to work together to manage health risks, and to collaborate on health systems strengthening and the health of migrants, mobile populations and border communities. Only then can they mitigate the impact of health security threats on human lives, health systems, and the economy.
