Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response
Define
strategy adopted by countries in the WHO African Region for implementing comprehensive public health surveillance and response systems for priority diseases, conditions and events at all levels of health systems.
Objectives of IDSR
Conduct effective surveillance activities
Integrate multiple surveillance systems to use resources more efficiently
Improve the use of information for detecting, investigating and responding to public health threats
Improve the flow of surveillance information throughout the health system
Classification of dxs according to IDSR (3)

No new cases for at least 3 consecutive years. Transmission seized is….
Elimination
No new cases anywhere in the world for at least 3 years…

Epidemic prone dxs of local concern
Epidemic prone dxs of international concern
Yellow fever, SARS (coronavirus) small pox and anthrax are
Mgt of epidemic prone dxs
Immediate notification of the IDSR Person
Treat
Understand the ICEBERG PHENOMENON
IDSR Focal person before discharge for immediate reporting and listing
Properties that makes poli targeted for ERADICATION
- Only human-human transmission
- Effective Vaccine -OPV (cross infectivity effect due to feaco-oral nature) and IPV (to prevent vaccine-induced acute paralytic event)
Why is Dracunculiasis targeted for eradication
- No man to man transmission
- Can be controlled by controlling source
- Control of cyclops, ie water filtration
Why is neonatal tetanus targeted for ERADICATION
- Control during pregnancy with at least 2 does of TT is enough.
- Control is easy
