Disease Surveillance

Importance

Early detection of outbreaks and rapid response depend on strong surveillance systems. We support countries to expand early warning, strengthen priority threat surveillance, enhance cross-border coordination, and integrate One Health approaches. This ensures timely detection and action, especially in fragile settings.

Contributions

Integrated Surveillance Support

We strengthen integrated surveillance by:

Connecting human, animal, and environmental health systems (One Health).
Strengthening event-based and community-based surveillance.
Improving cross-border collaboration for surveillance of high-threat pathogens.

Priority Threat Surveillance

Work includes:

Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) surveillance.
Surveillance during mass gatherings (e.g., Arba’een in Iraq).
Surveillance during emergencies led by FETPs.

Event-Based Surveillance (EBS) Expansion

Supported integration and scale-up in:

Afghanistan (7 provinces)
Oman (2 governorates)
Egypt (10 governorates)
Sudan (2 states)
Lebanon (7 governorates)
Libya (5 municipalities)
Morocco (3 regions)

Community-Based Surveillance (CBS)

Implemented in:

Yemen (nationwide)
Sudan (18 states)
Lebanon (7 governorates)
Iraq and Egypt (active case search and surveys)
Morocco (improved non-polio AFP rates)

Mass Gathering Surveillance

In Iraq, we developed a mobile-powered real-time surveillance system for Arba’een and produced a regional technical guide on public health during mass gatherings.
