To stop a Public Health Emergency, Eagle Global Scientific (EGS) puts boots on the ground at the source. EGS is proud and honored to support global public health missions including the SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, Ebolavirus, and MERS-CoV surge responses both domestically and abroad.

The safety and well-being of our employees is the single most important consideration to EGS during each mission; we developed a Foreign Travel Working Group (FTWG) with extensive experience in global public health expert deployments. Our FTWG is a highly seasoned team that ensures that we provide the most up-to-date travel information to our employees.

EGS uses up-to-the-minute data to maintain the safety and success of our employees. Our FTWG is constantly plugged in to the global community and provides contemporaneous adjustments to mission plans. EGS is committed to leading the deployment of global public health professionals in service to the CDC’s mission.

Our FTWG monitors real-time travel advisories and relies heavily on those offered by the U.S. Department of State travel's advisory page. EGS does not take any time off when employee safety is a concern, and we react to changes in status immediately to protect the welfare of our personnel.

EGS recognizes the importance of providing virtual and telework alternatives for employees as a supplement to the FTWG. Our employee support includes financial and technical support to ensure that deployed employees can fully comply with the requirements of their position in cases of mandatory evacuation from the travel site or mandatory quarantine at the travel site. We provide continuity of care in all aspects of travel, and we prepare for all scenarios.
