Infectious diseases are a global threat. With support from The Global Fund, Democratic Republic of the Congo is building stronger health systems to protect people. The Early Alert Room is the epicenter of the country’s disease surveillance system. Here, experts receive real-time data from across the country on 21 infectious diseases. Over 250 health districts now share data digitally, enabling faster responses and better protection against disease. Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind in the fight against infectious diseases.

Great but the GF have no policy of support for employees having serious illness?
The implementation of the Early Alert Room in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is a critical step toward strengthening health systems and enhancing disease surveillance. By integrating real-time data from across the country, this system allows for quicker responses to infectious diseases, ensuring better protection for communities. As we look at the broader picture, how can similar digital health infrastructures be scaled across other African nations to create a more interconnected and resilient health network on the continent?
Very credible! Access to data is a cornerstone for assessment and informed decisions as well as evaluation of measures taken.
Inspiring
I am thrilled to see the application of geospatial technology in health systems for tracking, monitoring, and surveillance, and even for future predictions that enable preparedness and rapid response to emergencies (PPPR). This aligns closely with my vision for Ghana, driving my dedication to gaining technical knowledge in my current field. Such innovations can be effectively scaled in Ghana and other regions with minimal adjustments tailored to specific geographical contexts. Moreover, these systems will only improve as emerging and evolving technologies advance. Kudos to the Democratic Republic of Congo for prioritizing data acquisition and sharing—an essential foundation for making this possible. Keep up the incredible work!
