"Surveillance"is the on-going, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination of health data to those who need to know. This information is then used for planning, implementing and evaluating health interventions at local provicial and national levels. Surveillance data are used to determine the need for (public) health action and to assess the effectiveness of programs.
