Global Health with Greg Martin's video: Public Health Surveillance

Public health surveillance is about more than just infectious disease epidemiology. It can include health surveillance on non-communicable disease, health service usage etc. Importantly it is about how health data is collected and analysed so that it can inform public health action and policy. It includes active and passive surveillance. Examples of surveillance include infectious disease notification (so, for example, all confirmed cases of COVID-19 are notified to departments of public health), whole genome sequencing, serosurveillance, syndromic surveillance, amongst others. This is an important part of public health epidemiology and contributes toward health protection. Public health work with microbiology laboratories to get data at time and also connect directly with patients and cases.
