10 Early Warning and Epidemiology Network (EWARN) PROGRAM DEFINITION EWARN is a simplified disease surveillance system created in the affected north of Syria after the collapse of the health system in mid Surveillance is a systematic and continuous collection of epidemiological health data within a specific time frame. And then to interpret and disseminate such information in the field of public health. Surveillance is essential in the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health practices. MAIN TASKS AND ACTIVITIES The disease surveillance system relies on accurate and complete data in a timely manner. These factors ultimately determine the system's ability to provide useful health information as to the community people served by the network. A mission effected through: Issuing reports. OBJECTIVES Bringing down morbidity and mortality rates associated with epidemic diseases in Syria. Strengthening capacity for surveillance activities: training staff at all levels to develop and implement action plans, advocacy and resource mobilization. Integration of multiple surveillance systems (environmental surveillance and nutrition surveillance) so that available resources can be used more efficiently. Improve the use of information in order to: rapidly detect suspicious outbreaks or epidemics and come up with response thereto; while monitoring the impact of intervention measures; and facilitating public health policy based on data and planning. Improve the flow of surveillance data across all levels of the health system. Enhance laboratory capabilities to detect pathogens. Increase participation of physicians in Syria in the epidemiological surveillance system. Training and capacity building. Operation of the network of epidemiological surveillance laboratories. Application of other supporting surveillance systems. Place emphasis on community involvement in the detection and response to public health problems.

16 Nutritional surveillance program PROGRAM DEFINITION The nutrition surveillance system was established in mid-2017 to investigate and monitor the nutritional status of children under the age of 5 years on a regular basis and as part of the early warning network. It is an ongoing routine system to build up data that reflects the size, distribution and causes of malnutrition among the population at present and in the future, for policy formulation, program planning, management and evaluation. The proposed nutritional surveillance system is linked to the disease surveillance system in selected surveillance sites and is developed to enable community-based surveillance in areas highly threatened by malnutrition MAIN TASKS AND ACTIVITIES The nutritional surveillance program is implemented according to the following stages: extended to the communities, whereby other cues are incorporated to the process while continuing the follow-up work in the said centers. The program produces a monthly technical report, in addition to a monthly bulletin, both issued in English as well as in Arabic. OBJECTIVES Assessment of the severe, moderate and acute malnutrition and bilateral edema in children under 5 years of age. Reduce the rate of mortality due to acute malnutrition in children under five years of age. Follow-up the detected and referred cases, after two weeks of referral, to assess the adequacy and quality of case management services. Piloting stage: conducted in 15 health centers distributed over seven governorates. First routine stage: investigate edema among children aged 6-59 months, who are visiting 100 health centers in 7 governorates. These data are collected and analyzed to determine the nutritional status in each region. Second routine stage: at this stage, the scope of the nutritional surveillance is 23 24
