AFRO IDSR Course 1: Introduction to IDSR Technical Guidelines 3rd Edition
Welcome to the WHO AFRO Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) Strategy online courses.
The aims of the Training Package are to contribute to the implementation of the AFRO IDSR Strategy 2020 – 2030 and to enable participants to gain appropriate knowledge for using data to detect and respond to priority diseases, conditions and public health events, and thereby reduce the burden of illness, death and disability in communities.
The IDSR Technical Guidelines 3rd Edition explicitly describes what needs to be established at each level of the health system in AFRO in order to detect and respond to diseases, conditions and public health events that are responsible for all preventable illnesses, deaths and disabilities in local communities. The guidelines recommend thresholds for action on priority diseases, public health events and conditions and for responding to alerts.
