Event-based surveillance in the WHO African region
Event-based surveillance (EBS) is a critical component of epidemic intelligence, supporting the timely detection of unusual public health events. However, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the status of EBS implementation across the WHO African region was not well documented. This study establishes a regional baseline of EBS modalities in place before the pandemic to inform future surveillance system evaluation and strengthening. We conducted a cro…
Assessing the utility of the Covid-19 epidemic Situations of Concern classification system in guiding operational responses to the pandemic in the WHO African region
During a public health emergency, early implementation of response activities is crucial for saving lives and protecting livelihoods. The COVID-19 pandemic, declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, posed a global public health crisis that required timely decision-making despite limited data and capacity. In this context, WHO’s Regional Office for Africa (AFRO) developed the Situations of Concern (SOC) classification syst…
Strengthening pathogen genomic surveillance for health emergencies
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a rapid scale-up in the use of genomic surveillance as a pandemic preparedness and response tool. As a result, the number of countries with in-country SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing capability increased by 40% from February 2021 to July 2022. The Global Genomic Surveillance Strategy for Pathogens with Pandemic and Epidemic Potential 2022–2032 was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March …
Global public health intelligence
Early warning and response are key to tackle emerging and acute public health risks globally. Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has implemented a robust approach to public health intelligence (PHI) for the global detection, verification and risk assessment of acute public health threats. WHO’s PHI operations are underpinned by the International Health Regulations (2005), which require that countries strengthen surveillance efforts, a…
