National Communicable Disease Surveillance System: A review on Information and Organizational Structures in Developed Countries

Abstract: Introduction:To obtain necessary information for managing communicable diseases, different countries have developed national communicable diseases surveillance systems (NCDSS). Exploiting the lesson learned from the leading countries in development of surveillance systems provides the foundation for developing these systems in other countries. In this study, the information and organizational structure of NCDSS in developed countries were reviewed.Methods:The study reviewed publications found on the organizati… Show more

“…Despite the decline in the burden of diarrhea and respiratory diseases since 2005, they still pose a major public health burden [ 3 ]. Both of these infectious diseases have always been in the 10 top causes of deaths among children, especially in low- and middle-income countries [ 4 ]. Globally, rotavirus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are the most common causes of severe diarrhea and respiratory infections in children, contributing to 28% and 18% of diarrhea cases and respiratory infections, respectively [ 2 , 5 ].…”

“…Upon completion of each task, data could be entered into the system. Such feedback mechanisms are lacking in many surveillance systems, resulting in lower monitoring accuracy, and importantly the intelligent system is missing self-learning [8]. The target is to help field workers take quick actions based on the recommendations.…”

“…Meaningful impact analysis studies are dependent on high quality data (Wassenich, 2007). Pandemic response interventions in developed nations such as Australia, that are characterised by having well developed National Communicable Disease Surveillance Systems (NCDSS) in place, have at their disposal detailed longitudinal data on pandemic trajectory and impacts (Bagherian et al, 2017). In Australia, weekly epidemiology reports on the COVID-19 pandemic are published by Communicable Diseases Intelligence (CDI), with access to detailed data sets being available subject to ethical approval (COVID-19 National Incident Room Surveillance Team, 2020).…”
