International Society For Infectious Diseases

At the International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) our mission is to support health professionals, non-government organizations, and governments around the world in their work to prevent, investigate and manage infectious disease outbreaks when they occur, particularly in countries that have limited resources and which disproportionately bear the burden of infectious diseases. ISID recognizes: -The intersection of infectious diseases in humans, animals and plants. -That infectious diseases cross all national and regional boundaries. -That effective long-term solutions require international scientific exchange and cooperation. -The Society is dedicated to developing partnerships and to finding solutions to the problems of infectious diseases across the globe and encourages the collaborative efforts of human health, veterinary health, and environmental health communities working locally, nationally, and globally for best control and management of infectious diseases. Our goals are to: -Improve global pandemic/epidemic preparedness following the One Health concept. -Build a global infectious diseases community. -Deliver high-quality, globally relevant education. -Facilitate the implementation of practical solutions to the challenges associated with outbreaks of infectious diseases. -Increase the impact of research developed in low and low-middle income countries in the regions where is has been developed. -Build infectious diseases capacity in low and low-middle income countries. -Stimulate science for the global good. ISID is a non-profit, apolitical and transparent organization open to all individuals interested in infectious diseases.
