| General Description of the Research Project | Efficient pandemic response relies on governments’ ability to identify and monitor diseases in a timely manner. Surveillance in Southeast Asia is often fragmented and ineffective. Using measles as a model, this interdisciplinary project will deliver a new model for collaborative surveillance to eliminate measles and prevent outbreaks in Southeast Asia (Lao PDR and The Philippines). This approach will reduce the morbidity, mortality and socio-economic losses associated with measles. It will also enable a faster and efficient response to emerging infections in the future. |
