## ANSWER THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND FAMILY WELFARE

## (DR. BHARATI PRAVIN PAWAR)

## (a) to (f)

## :

Integrated Disease Surveillance Program (IDSP) was launched in 2004 with anaim to detect  and  respond  to  disease  outbreaks  quickly  and  to  strengthen  the  disease surveillance  in  the  country  by  establishing  a  decentralized  State-based  surveillance system for epidemic-prone diseases to detect the early warning signals.

The major activities under IDSP includes-

-  Integration and decentralization of surveillance activities through the establishment of surveillance units at Centre, State, and District levels.
-  Human  Resource  Development -  Training  of  State  Surveillance  Officers, District  Surveillance  Officers,  Rapid  Response  Team,  and  other  Medical  and Paramedical staff on principles of disease surveillance.
-  Use of Information &Communication Technology for  collection,  collation, compilation, analysis, and dissemination of data and
-  Strengthening of public health laboratories

State  and  District  Surveillance  units  have  been  established  in  all  States/Districts besides  a  Central  Surveillance  Unit  (CSU)  established  at  National  Centre  for Disease Control.

The total number of outbreaks reported State-wise in the year 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 (till date) are at Annexure.

To further improve the surveillance system, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has launched 'Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP)' which is implemented in a phased manner across the States. The portal facilitates capturing disaggregate data of more than 33 epidemic prone diseases.
