CDC Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch

The Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch is the lead coordination and response unit for domestic and global water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH)-related disease in CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases. CDC's Health Promotion and Communications team works with all Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch teams and WASH-related groups across CDC to create and share health promotion materials, training and education tools, and scientific information with state and local health departments, Ministries of Health, clinicians, researchers, industry groups, and other domestic and global partners.
