Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP)

The Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP) is a government initiative in India designed to monitor and track diseases across the country in real-time. It collects information from healthcare facilities about outbreaks of illnesses like communicable diseases, allowing officials to detect patterns quickly. This early warning system helps in timely response and effective control of public health threats, preventing widespread outbreaks. By integrating data from various sources and regions, IDSP aims to improve disease surveillance, strengthen health systems, and protect the population’s health through proactive measures.
