Article Synopsis
- The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) was established in 2010 to help 121 sites in 21 Pacific island nations detect infectious disease outbreaks early through routine surveillance.
- An evaluation, including interviews and data analysis, shows that while the PSSS is valuable and improves early warning capabilities, challenges like reporting timeliness and data quality remain.
- For the PSSS to be sustainable in a low-resource environment, a balance between simplicity and technological advancements must be achieved.
