Information about the project
Project title *
Cambodia Early Warning system
Title acronym
CamEWARN
Description *
CamEWARN has a case-based surveillance system which covers 10 epidemic prone diseases and syndromes. It involves weekly zero reporting from health centres, referral hospitals and two paediatric specialty hospitals in Siem Reap to the Communicable Diseases Control Department (CDC), Ministry of Health. New web-based software has been created for reporting. All provinces have been trained in the use of the new software. For these provinces, data is available by health centre. For the other provinces, data is only available up to operational district level. The aim is to monitor disease trends and detect outbreaks early to enable timely response by Rapid Response Teams (RRTs). The system works on pre-defined texts sent from sites to the level above where the data is automatically collated and sent to next level above.
