I know that the CDC keeps an eye on Africa too, being that some of the diseases that have seriously impacted the health of the world have come out of Africa. The CDC was usually right there when something new came popping out of Africa (diseases). A shame, but the continent is so vast, w/ major portions of Africa unknown to the western world. That's why it pays to keep some sort of health org. on top of things in Africa. Perhaps the United Nations (WHO) has or will continue to have a presence in Africa.
