    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, is awarding around $20 million to the World Health Organization (WHO), with the total expected funding to reach approximately $100 million over five years. This funding will help CDC and WHO work together to improve the world's ability to detect, respond to, and prevent infectious diseases.
