ECDC Public Health Emergency Preparedness - Detection and assessment
- Full name
- Detection and assessment
- Description
As a whole, detection and assessment capabilities enable Member States’ preparedness systems to recognise and characterise a threat, monitor its impact on the population, and evaluate the efficacy of interventions to control the threat. Assessment depends on having laboratory and surveillance capacities in place before an event; this includes appropriate legal arrangements. Information flowing from assessment activities must be communicated to all segments of the public health preparedness system, as well as with the public, to support policy development and implementation, prevention and treatment efforts.
