Real-time WHO outbreak monitoring for teams without GPHIN

Most public health teams monitor outbreaks with WHO DON in one tab, ECDC in another, PAHO in their inbox. The signal arrives. The window to act is already closing. HealthWatch Global unifies WHO, ECDC, PAHO and Africa CDC into one real-time dashboard — with automated IHR risk scoring so your team knows what to prioritize the moment the alert lands. Built for epidemiologists, NGOs and health ministries. 195 countries · 5 languages · 4 official sources · Free to start.
I built this after watching an Ebola alert in Central Africa sit simultaneously in three separate RSS feeds — while the field coordination team had none of them in their workflow. The signal was live. The window was open. The tools were just wrong.
Most public health teams don't have access to GPHIN, the WHO-affiliated surveillance network used by governments and large agencies (~$50K+/year). They're left cross-referencing WHO DON, ECDC, PAHO and Africa CDC manually in four browser tabs, hoping they catch the signal before it spreads.
HealthWatch Global unifies all four in real time — automated IHR risk scoring based on published RSI criteria (Art. 6, 9, 12), 5 languages including Arabic and Indonesian (the markets where GPHIN isn't a realistic option), regional filters, and a 30-day institutional pilot for teams that need DPA + SLA before committing.
One early signal I'm proud of: a researcher at Institut Pasteur Morocco signed up without any outreach from us. That's exactly the profile we built this for — qualified, resource-constrained, working in a context where official surveillance data matters but GPHIN access doesn't exist.
What it doesn't do: replace official WHO determinations. The scoring helps your team triage, not declare a PHEIC.
