The Pasteur Network joins the GOARN

The Pasteur Network is proud to announce its official membership in the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), strengthening our commitment to global health security and outbreak response.

About GOARN

GOARN is WHO’s collaborative framework that rapidly mobilizes specialized expertise and resources during disease outbreaks of international concern. The network connects institutions worldwide to ensure coordinated, swift responses to health emergencies—from Ebola and cholera to novel coronaviruses. Learn more: https://goarn.who.int

A natural partnership

With 32 member institutes across 25 countries, the Pasteur Network has long been at the forefront of infectious disease research, laboratory diagnostics, and public health response. Many Pasteur Network members were already part of GOARN, and our official membership now opens new opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and rapid mobilization of expertise.

What this membership brings

Our network-level membership enhances our ability to:

• Deploy coordinated expertise rapidly during outbreaks
• Share critical knowledge and resources across borders
• Strengthen global epidemic preparedness and response capacity

This milestone reflects our ongoing collaboration with WHO, following our recent renewal as a WHO non-state actor for 2025-2027, and reinforces our role as a key partner in protecting global health.
