New Tool To Help Cambodian Gov't Detect Disease Outbreaks

Joshua Wilwohl


PHNOM PENH:-- In an effort to help the Cambodian government detect infectious diseases among the country’s 15 million people, the technical arm of innovative international health nonprofit InSTEDD has built a public reporting system and web-based portal to track potential outbreaks.


Launched Friday in Phnom Penh, the system and subsequent tool, which operate using the country’s current Ministry of Health phone hotline, aim to improve disease surveillance, speed up response times to the illnesses and inform the population about possible threats.


“This is an opportunity to reach people across the country and keep them informed about infectious diseases,” said Channe Suy Lan, regional lead of InSTEDD’s Southeast Asia iLab, which is based in Phnom Penh.


Lan said it took iLab a year to build the system and portal, which uses the open source tool Verboice.
