About Lesson

Introduction

In response to the frequent outbreaks of preventable diseases in the African Region, the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) strategy was endorsed by Member States in September 1998. IDSR aims to improve the availability and use of relevant data for public health action at all levels of the national systems. IDSR has provided a framework for improving disease surveillance and response capabilities in the WHO African Region including Rwanda. For the first time in Rwanda’s history, the e-IDSR system is routinely capturing surveillance data on 24 diseases in near real-time, alerting health authorities to probable outbreaks and catalyzing     investigation of suspected cases to confirm outbreaks.
