- The National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has launched a citizen-based reporting system to give early alerts of disease outbreaks.
- People can report unusual health events by scanning a Quick Response (QR) code provided by the Ministry of Health and NCDC.
- Each report is sent instantly to district, state and national dashboards under the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP).
- The system uses the secure government servers and cybersecurity protocols to protect user data.
- It aims to detect outbreaks before patients reach health facilities, though only about 100 validated reports have been recorded since its nationwide launch in January 2024.
