Abstract:
Public health surveillance, through the ongoing and systematic collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of health information, plays a critical role in informed decision-making and appropriate public health action.1 Different surveillance systems are required to meet disease-specific public health objectives, and some systems have been expanded through the collection of risk factor, behaviour and health practice information.
