Public Health Surveillance - a dynamic tool

Alexander Langmuir, expert in public health surveillance and intelligence     Alexander Langmuir, the man behind epidemiologic intelligence, gave a crystal clear definition of surveillance as it applies to public health. He defined it as the continued watchfulness, systematic collection, consolidation and interpretation of public health data, and dissemination of this information to people who are in a position to take action. Surveillance is not static, but dynamic. Surveillance system must be flexible. It should adapt itself to the changing epidemiology of the problem under surveillance. There was an era when measles in India was under event-based surveillance. But it is now realized that in order to achieve elimination of measles, we should move on to case-based surveillance where every case of measles has to be investigated and control measures promptly instituted. Though not in the literal sense, surveillance can afford to be less rigorous when the disease has a ...

    The recent death of a few animals in my locality  due to severe dehydration has moved me to tears, and I urge people to have a heart and respond.      The relevance of stray dogs in the food chain and our communities is a matter of never-ending debate among pro and anti-canine speakers.

Hardwork pays off

Years 2016 and 2017 have proved to be the turning points in my life. Chronologically, I cleared my MD exam in Nov 2016, worked in the State Institute of Health and Family Welfare, Bangalore for 6 months and then came the bumper draw. I cleared the Short Service Commission interview. This was my fifth stint at the selection but the joy of clearing the interview and physical examination is certainly long-lasting. Today, I'm a Medical Officer in the world's second largest army and ninth largest employer, the Indian Army. I got commissioned to the rank of Captain on July 12, 2017. You never know what life has in store for you. Keep believing in yourself and work hard. You deserve the best.
