Disease Surveillance
Disease surveillance is a systematic collection and analysis of health-related data used to identify and monitor patterns of illness in a population. It is used to detect and track the spread of infectious and non-infectious diseases, inform public health action, evaluate interventions, and improve health outcomes. Disease surveillance is essential for disease prevention, control and elimination strategies, as it allows for the early detection of outbreaks and helps inform the public on how to avoid risk of infection. Additionally, it can be used to detect changes in health patterns over time to inform public health decision-making.
