Developing Surveillance and Strategic Information Systems

CDC Vietnam supports the development and implementation of Vietnam’s HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) national health information and surveillance systems to improve the collection and utilization of data to better plan, implement, and evaluate health programs, and to assess the disease burden in communities. Since 2005, CDC has provided technical and research support to enhance Vietnam’s National Influenza Surveillance System to detect and control influenza and other zoonotic diseases in humans and animals, to build Vietnam’s capacity and preparedness to quickly and effectively detect, prevent, and respond to disease outbreaks, and to prevent diseases from spreading in the region and worldwide.
