Definición

  • Public health surveillance is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data (e.g., regarding agent/hazard, risk factor, exposure, health event) essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice, closely integrated with the timely dissemination of these data to those responsible for prevention and control. A public health surveillance system should include the capacity for systematically collecting data, analyzing said data, and disseminating results to persons who can implement effective interventions.
