Launched in 2016, Event-Based Surveillance Training develops training materials for public health emergency operations center personnel on how to conduct event-based surveillance (EBS).
Event-Based Surveillance Training aims to provide partner countries with practical, field-tested training and planning tools to help national authorities implement EBS and use epidemic intelligence for early warning. Ultimately, the project will strengthen capacities to detect and respond rapidly to outbreaks and other acute health events. Event-Based Surveillance Training was piloted in three countries: Cambodia, Uganda, and Vietnam.
