A federated network for health forecasting and outbreak analytics
HFA connects regional hubs and institutions so that methods, tools, computing capacity and expertise circulate between them. It works in support of the national and regional authorities responsible for public health, and not in place of them.
Current status, September 2026. Four regional hubs are active. HFA's founding instruments have been drafted and are before the Steering Committee for review; they take effect on ratification. Public health institutions in more than thirty countries take part through the hubs.
- What HFA is
A network of networks, its members institutions rather than states, holding no mandate of its own.
- Our work
How the work is done, the five components it is organised into, and current use cases on dengue, yellow fever, antimicrobial resistance and avian influenza.
- Regional hubs
Four active hubs across Latin America, North America, the Middle East and North Africa, and East Africa.
- Governance
Who decides what, how seats are held, and how hub sovereignty is protected structurally.
- Documents and registers
HFA's instruments, with their status, and the registers and reports it publishes.
- Participate
What joining involves, and what it does not.
