Critical, life-saving information and data sharing among Member States is therefore a priority to limit or eliminate such transmissions. Africa CDC implements a cross-border surveillance programme to strengthen border surveillance systems within African Union Member States and ensure linkages with the national disease surveillance systems. The programme is strengthening capacity for surveillance at Points of entry (PoE), providing specialized training for surveillance staff, and supporting operational research, knowledge sharing and management, and regional coordination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strengthening border surveillance systems within African Union Member States and ensure linkages with the national disease surveillance systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":380,"parent":1108,"menu_order":18,"template":"","tags":[],"thematic-area":[],"region":[],"country":[],"class_list":["post-1114","programme","type-programme","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cross-Border Disease Surveillance &#8211;
