IDDS Webinar: The Role of Community-based Surveillance in Global Health Security

The fifth in our webinar series, looks at the role of community-based surveillance (CBS) in global health. CBS is used for early detection of potentially epidemic diseases through reporting by community members. CBS enables the systematic detection and reporting of events of public health significance at the source.
IDDS has supported the implementation of CBS in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, and Vietnam, including integrating COVID-19 reporting into CBS interventions. The webinar features global perspectives on CBS within pandemic preparedness and response efforts, highlight Mali’s approaches to integrating CBS into the health system, and elaborate on implementation realities at the community level in Senegal from a community health worker.
