Abstract
|
|
|
|
Emerging infectious diseases are becoming an even greater global public health threat because of the ongoing increase in the population, urbanization, international trade, and travel. Subsequently, the public health of each country plays a significant role in the global health security agenda. Event-based surveillance systems need to be strengthened in each country because traditional indicator-based surveillance systems do not cover public health events that might turn into emergencies of international concern in time for an adequate response. To facilitate an early and rapid response, the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) monitors the trends of infectious diseases at abroad every day from several sources, act on events that have the potential to become public health threats and rapidly assesses them. The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) shares this information frequently with stakeholders in both public and private sectors.
