This framework describes the building blocks and actions that ECDC will use to support and EU/EEA countries and the European Commission to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG).
Prevalence data from sources such as population surveys can be a useful complement to case based surveillance data for hepatitis C. Case-based surveillance has limitations as most diagnosed cases are chronic in nature and detection of cases depends largely on testing practices. Prevalence data can therefore contribute towards a fuller understanding of the epidemiology of hepatitis C.
Prevalence data from sources such as population surveys can be a useful complement to case based surveillance data for hepatitis B. Case-based surveillance has limitations as most diagnosed cases are chronic in nature and detection of cases depends largely on testing practices. Prevalence data can therefore contribute towards a fuller understanding of the epidemiology of hepatitis B.
The Epidemic Intelligence Information System (EPIS) is a web-based communication platform that allows nominated public health experts to exchange technical information to assess whether current and emerging public health threats have a potential impact in the European Union (EU).
The overall aim of the ECDC Train-the-trainer (ToT) workshop was providing practical training and support to national experts from Western Balkans in raising awareness for the prevention of Legionella and risks for Legionnaires’ disease, among accommodation sites in their respective countries.
The ECDC HIV Platform Tool is a new end-user application that uses statistical and mathematical methods to calculate adjusted estimates from HIV surveillance data, considering the issues of missing data and reporting delay and employing modelling techniques.
These provide further information and details on the programme, such as the application process, including the necessary supporting documentation; selection process; content and learning objectives; and required post-visit final report.
The HIV estimates accuracy tool is an end user application that uses statistical methods to calculate adjusted estimates from HIV surveillance data taking into account the issues of missing data and reporting delay.
