Abstract

Global surveillance systems are crucial for early detection, assessment and response to public health threats. The National Health and Medical Research Council Centre for Research Excellence, Integrated Systems for Epidemic Response is developing a new epidemic observatory, Epi-watch. Epi-watch monitors and provides critical analysis of global outbreaks and epidemics of public health significance for use by policy makers, government and other stakeholders. To inform further development of Epi-watch, we implemented a stakeholder survey to understand the global outbreak surveillance needs of stakeholders involved in epidemic response and surveillance in the Asia-Pacific region.
