National Biosurveillance Strategy

The National Biosurveillance Strategy is a plan designed to monitor and detect harmful biological threats, like infectious diseases and bioterrorism, across the country. It aims to gather and analyze data from various sources—such as hospitals, labs, and environmental sensors—to identify outbreaks early. This helps health authorities respond quickly and effectively, preventing widespread harm. The strategy emphasizes collaboration among government agencies, healthcare providers, and researchers to improve the country’s ability to detect, understand, and respond to biological risks, maintaining public health and national security.
