Disease Outbreaks

Disease emergence and spread do not respect geographical boundaries. This is why it is important to have the necessary tools available to combat and control disease. Efficient early warning and forecasting of disease trends through surveillance systems is key to effective containment and control. Early intervention such as the use of vaccines during a disease epidemic often leads to better outcomes with reduced disease burden and associated economic impact.
