How Does MSF Monitor Disease Outbreaks?

MSF employs epidemiologists who use various methods to monitor disease outbreaks. They collect and analyze data on the incidence and prevalence of diseases, identify patterns of spread, and assess risk factors. This data is crucial for designing effective intervention strategies and for informing the global health community. Advanced tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and real-time data reporting systems are often used to enhance their surveillance capabilities.
