摘要

An effective health system is a crucial provocation to enhance the delivery of cost- effective healthcare to improve primary health care and reach the vision of the World Health Organization’s Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) strategy. The objective of IDSR is to strengthen surveillance and response abilities at each face of the health system by constructing local capacity. It also leverages strengths and area of competence through collaboration and coordination. Effective governance, financial and delivery order within health systems, and effective achievement strategies are needed promptly especially in African (The Gambia) and other low-income countries. Although there are some great achievements in some areas in the case of polio in the Gambia but re-emerging infections like cholera, dysentery, meningitis, yellow fever and Ebola virus have pose a serious public health threat and resulted in significant morbidity and mortality. The objective of this paper is to design national electronic disease surveillance and reporting system that will be implemented at point of care, which will link health care providers, enhance public awareness, improve data analysis capacity, help local public health officials and also provides better quality data for future research.
