Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated influenza surveillance sustainability in Africa from 2011 to 2017, focusing on how external funding cuts affected the systems in place.
- A survey found that 75% of ANISE member countries maintained a high quality of laboratory standards and consistent testing for severe acute respiratory infections, though testing for influenza-like illnesses dropped slightly.
- Notably, half of surveyed countries improved their ability to type influenza B, and weekly reporting to WHO increased, indicating advancements in surveillance despite funding challenges.
