Poster – Public Health Surveillance Functions in International Jurisdictions
This poster presents an overview of an international environmental scan aimed at describing characteristics of national public health surveillance functions from countries with contexts comparable to Canada. This study equips public health professionals with insights to better identify and understand the dynamics of public health surveillance systems across international contexts, akin to Canada’s. It sheds light on the imperative of infectious disease surveillance, especially highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, while also pointing towards future challenges and opportunities such as real-time data utilization, digitalization, and enhanced knowledge sharing. Through this, it supports efforts to refine surveillance strategies, innovate with data integration, and foster informed decision-making for improved public health outcomes.
