The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), on 26 June 2008, published its long-term strategy for the surveillance of communicable diseases in the European Union for the years 2008 to 2013. The strategy attempts to define the terms and scope of surveillance, its aims and objectives, and its organisational requirements, as well as outlining ways to support the Member States and presenting an implementation roadmap. The overall goal is to provide relevant public health data, information and reports to decision-makers, professionals and health-care workers to promote actions resulting in the timely prevention and control of communicable diseases in Europe. |
