Community based surveillance
Community-based surveillance (CBS) is the systematic detection and reporting of events of public health significance within a community by community members.
By allowing for volunteers from the communities to report on health situations we can ensure that the right help is provided, in the right place and at the right time.
Nyss is a custom software platform for data collection, management and analysis; tailored to the needs of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement.
Nyss allows for real-time detection, reporting, aggregation, and analysis of information on community health risks, which helps health authorities act faster and save lives!
