- - The study found a majority of rubella cases were reported during Liberia's dry season (February to May), highlighting a concerning trend of infection not only in children but also in women of reproductive age and infants
Introduction: Although Liberia adapted the integrated diseases surveillance and response (IDSR) in 2004 as a platform for implementation of International Health Regulation (IHR (2005)), IDSR was not actively implemented until 2015.

This paper describes the different approaches used for implementation of IDSR in Liberia from 2015 to 2017.
