Disease surveillance health society soon

Kannal Achuthan

Chennai: The Chennai Corporation plans to set up a unit called the ‘Disease Surveillance Health Society’ in order to collect information on disease outbreaks, study trends of prevalence and educate people on public health.

The unit would be registered with the District Registrar of Societies. The Corporation would run the society in association with the Ministry of Health.

Easy access

The society would be set up at a cost of Rs.86 lakh, of which Rs.15 lakh would be used to set up a geographic information system (GIS) in disease incidence and prevalence. This means that a click of the computer mouse could yield information on disease patterns in the city. The Corporation Council approved the proposal on Saturday.
