Colorado Governor
Governor Polis Announces Colorado’s Intent to Join World Health Organization’s Global Outbreak Network. “We want to learn from health science around the world to help make sure Coloradans can get the most advanced and effective treatments for diseases. The unfortunate United States’ withdrawal from WHO reduced the ability of states to access global public health data. Disease does not stop at the borders, and preparedness depends on timely information and partnerships. Colorado is taking positive and immediate steps to ensure doctors and hospitals are better connected to global early-warning systems and scientific expertise so we can better protect Coloradans,” said Governor Jared Polis.
