Nha Trang Pasteur Institute organizes a workshop to share experiences in applying EIOS tool

On November 4, Nha Trang Pasteur Institute organized a workshop to share experiences in applying the EIOS tool (Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources) in monitoring public health events with the participation of nearly 40 delegates, representatives of several institutes in the Central and Central Highlands regions and the Centers for Disease Control of provinces and cities.

At the workshop, delegates shared experiences, advantages, difficulties and lessons learned in the process of implementing EIOS in the Central and Southern regions, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, they agreed to strengthen connections and cooperation between regional institutes, local disease control centers and experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) to build a proactive, effective and sustainable public health surveillance network.

Delegates heard a report on the features and applications of the EIOS tool.

In the context of increasingly complex emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, improving the capacity to detect early and respond promptly to public health events has become an urgent requirement. The EIOS system - a global initiative of WHO, is considered an effective support tool for event-based surveillance. Accordingly, the EIOS system helps to synthesize, screen and analyze data, thereby recording warning signs, helping health agencies quickly detect, verify and respond promptly to the risks of disease outbreaks, contributing to improving early warning capacity. At the same time, the system helps to evaluate whether the implemented activities are effective or not. Currently, with technical support from WHO, Nha Trang Pasteur Institute is one of the pioneers in applying and operating the EIOS system in the Central region, contributing to providing fast and accurate information for directing, monitoring and responding to epidemics.
