Strengthening surveillance systems for vaccine-preventable diseases in Egypt
28 July 2025, Cairo, Egypt – The World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office in Egypt and the Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, together with the Ministry of Health and Population’s Expanded Programme on Immunization, conducted a training workshop to strengthen surveillance systems for vaccine-preventable diseases in Egypt.
The training, held from 20 to 23 July 2025 with support from the Pandemic Fund, was attended by surveillance officers from 13 governorates.
Surveillance systems are essential for detecting, tracking and responding to diseases. They provide reliable, evidence-based data that informs public health decision-making, particularly in responding to diseases that can be prevented through vaccination.
