The Center for International Health, Education, and Biosecurity (Ciheb) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, operates as an international health, education, and research center established within the School of Medicine. It collaborates with local stakeholders across resource-limited settings to address infectious and non-communicable diseases through a network of international experts, with a focus on improving health service delivery, workforce capacity, quality improvement, health information and research, and outbreak surveillance and biosecurity. The organization works across multiple health system levels and combines facility-based and community-based programming, delivering technical assistance, training, and epidemiological support in seven countries. Based in Baltimore, Ciheb situates itself within the international trade and development landscape, drawing on its affiliation with the Institute of Human Virology to support HIV and TB prevention, care, and treatment, among other health priorities. A recent development notes Ciheb's activities in Rwanda and broader regional partnerships, including collaborations to expand COVID-19 seroprevalence studies and data-driven program outcomes.
