Introduction

Emerging and re-emerging events with a potential to cause disease outbreak remain a constant threat to global health security. In most developing countries, public health workers and community health workers are supporting initiatives and programmes like polio eradication, onchocerciasis, guinea worm eradication, trachoma control, integrated community case management, maternal and child health integrated programme, and early warning and response to public health emergencies among others. In some countries structures are not functional or are still to be built to detect, prevent and respond to public health events.

Training course on Disease surveillance and Reporting is offered by T4D-ILDC with an aim of strengthening the national capacity for surveillance and control of public health events of national and international concern.

Duration
