    The Philippine Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (PIDSR) is a strategy organized by the Philippine government to integrate the country's previously uncoordinated disease surveillance system. The PIDSR aims to provide timely and accurate disease surveillance data to guide response efforts at all levels of government. It establishes epidemiology units at regional and local levels to coordinate surveillance and response activities. The PIDSR covers government agencies, private organizations, and communities across the country in its goal of reducing illness, disability and death from communicable diseases through an integrated surveillance network.

    PHILIPPINE INTEGRATED DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND RESPONSE (PIDSR)

    PIDSR a bedrock of effective disease surveillance - Secretary Duque


    A 2007 article from the Pacific Rim Innovation and Management Exponents, Inc
    (PRIMEX) quoted Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III saying By making it (PIDSR)
    a bedrock of a more responsive and effective disease surveillance system, we envision
    a country adequately protected from the destructive health, economic, and social impact
    of diseases through an integrated surveillance network linking all the activities of
    governments and multiple stakeholders at all levels.
    The PIDSR is a strategy of the country in order to organize and integrate the
    different aspects the Philippines disease surveillance system that for the past years
    have been uncoordinated thus ineffective.

    Disease Surveillance
    Disease surveillance is considered as the basis of public health decision making.
    The data gained can be used as valuable information by the government for priority
    setting, policy decisions, planning, implementation, resource allocation, and prediction
    of epidemics in order to prevent an outbreak.
    Goals and Objectives
    Goal
    A functional integrated disease surveillance system that would result in considerable
    reduction in morbidity, disability and mortality caused by communicable diseases and other
    conditions
    General Objectives
    1. To provide continuous, timely and accurate disease surveillance information that will
    guide response or interventions for all stakeholders, particularly local government
    units and national programs
    2. To develop, improve and strengthen the capacity for an integrated surveillance and
    response at all levels of health system
    Specific Objectives
    1. To list and prioritize notifiable diseases, syndromes or other conditions as specified in
    the IHR and according to consensus developed between local government units and
    national programs

    2. To design and establish an integrated disease surveillance system that enhances the
    use of standard case definitions for notification and case based or event based
    reporting of priority diseases, syndromes, conditions or risks
    3. To establish or strengthen epidemiology and surveillance units (ESUs) at the regional
    and local levels that would serve as focal points for coordinating surveillance and
    response activities
    4. To strengthen surveillance data management (collection, collation, analysis,
    interpretation and dissemination)
    5. To ensure use of information or knowledge for police and decision making at all levels
    6. To strengthen the capacity and networking of laboratories at the national and local
    levels
    7. Enforce the involvement of private health care facilities in the surveillance system
    8. To strengthen community participation in disease detection, notification and response
    to epidemics
    9. To prepare national and local health staff to respond effectively to epidemics
    10. To establish a national coordinating body that would provide overall coordination of
    surveillance operations and the authority to shift priorities and resources according to
    changes in surveillance needs
    11. To enhance the utilization of information and communication technology for prompt
    reporting and data management that would be appropriate at the national and local
    levels

    Scope
    The PIDSR program covers the entire health sector in the country. This includes
    both private and public national agencies and LGUs, external development agencies
    and the community that is involved in disease surveillance and response activities.
    Conceptual Framework
    The framework of the PIDSR shows an integrated system that functions from the
    community level all the way to the national level. The local government units play an
    active role in detecting disease and undertaking response actions while the regional and
    national levels will provide the needed support, the policies, guidelines, and the training
    as well.
