“…foot and mouth disease [28]. As far as zoonotic diseases are concerned, participatory epidemiology methods have been successfully used to evaluate the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Egypt [29] and Indonesia [30] [31]. Participatory epidemiology as used by the livestock sector may also be exploited by the medical sector for collecting data on neglected or emerging diseases particularly in remote areas [32].…”

“…Community-based surveillance (CBS) may be de ned as the systematic detection and reporting of events of public health signi cance within a community by community members [110][111][112]. The engagement of the community has long been an important part of both human and animal health [110][111][112][113][114][115]. CBS has played a signi cant role in smallpox, guinea worm and polio eradication programmes [112].…”

Background: Public health surveillance requires valid, timely and complete health information for early detection of outbreaks. Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) adopted the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) strategy in 1998 in response to an increased frequency of emerging and re-emerging diseases in the region. This systematic review aimed to analyse how IDSR implementation has embraced advancement in information technology, big data analytics techniques and wealth of data sources to strengthen detection and management of infectious disease epidemics in SSA. Methods: Three databases were searched for eligible articles: HINARI, PubMed, and advanced Google Scholar databases. The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols checklist. A total of 1,809 articles were identified using key descriptors and screened at two stages, and 45 studies met the inclusion criteria for detailed review.Results: Of the 45 studies, 35 were country-specific, seven studies covered the region, and three studies covered 3-4 countries. A total of 24 studies assessed the IDSR core functions, while 42 studies evaluated the support functions. Twenty-three studies addressed both the core and support functions. Most of the studies involved Tanzania (9), Ghana (6) and Uganda (5). The implementation of the IDSR strategy has shown improvements, mainly in the support functions. The Health Management Information System (HMIS) has remained the main source of IDSR data. However, the HMIS system is characterised by inadequate data completeness, timeliness, quality, analysis and utilisation as well as lack of integration of data from sources other than health care facilities. Conclusion: In most SSA, HMIS is the main source of IDSR data, characterised by incompleteness, inconsistency and inaccuracy. This data is considered to be biased and reflects only the population seeking care from healthcare facilities. Community-based event-based surveillance is weak and non-existence in the majority of the countries. Data from other systems are not effectively utilised and integrated for surveillance. It is recommended that SSA countries consider and adopt multi-sectoral, multi-disease and multi-indicator platforms that integrate the existing surveillance systems with other sources of health information to provide support to effective detection and prompt response to public health threats.

“…80 Calain 81 too questions this confidence in high technology surveillance, instead urging localized capacity building of existing informal networks and human resources, such as the localized "participatory disease surveillance" system reportedly successfully implemented in Indonesia. 82 As shown in the study of capacity in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam-6 countries spanning low, medium, and developed countries in Asia-preparedness hinges on a variety of factors, including being strongly correlated with health system functions such as governance structure, political and historical context, and overall resourcing. 15…”

Management of pandemic influenza relies on complex coordination of many different dimensions of the health and social care systems, emergency services, levels of national and local government, civil society, communications and media, and cultural expectations. Law is one small but important component of those arrangements, which touch on fundamental ethical debates. This review demonstrates that the Asian region is actively engaging those issues in diverse ways in light of their varied socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, but scope remains for prioritising further research into these relationships.
