Map of GDD Regional Centers (GDD RCs) and outbreak support provided by the GDD RCs from 2007 to 2016. Color corresponds to the GDD RC that provided support, while size corresponds to the number of outbreaks supported in each country. Note: Outbreaks responded to in the home country of each GDD RC were not included in this map

Map of 57 countries that gained laboratory testing capacity to detect H1N1 during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, in partnership with Regional Centers. Color corresponds to the RC that supported H1N1 laboratory capacity building. Note: Map does not include countries that had existing capacity to detect H1N1. RCs in India (2009), South Africa (2010), Bangladesh (2011), and Georgia (2013) were established during or after 2009
