Binational Border Infectious Disease Surveillance Program
Binational Border Infectious Disease Surveillance ProgramThis program funds sites at the local level, which then carry out enhanced surveillance projects with laboratory testing in the border region. This approach allows partners to tailor surveillance to local disease priorities, focus on special populations such as binational or mobile populations, detect potential outbreaks through early case confirmation, provide public health interventions, and work with partners across the border to develop and strengthen data sharing and communication systems. |
