GOARN is described by WHO as "a technical collaboration of existing institutions and networks who pool human and technical resources for the rapid identification, confirmation and response to outbreaks of international importance.
GOARN provides an operational platform for international teams on the ground in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Viet Nam.
