Surveillance for elimination: Case-based reporting and data quality assurance

Dr. Moustapha Cissé, MACEPA/PATH 

Dr. Cissé enumerated some of the investigation strategies that have been implemented since 2011 to accelerate malaria elimination, which encompass a strategy selection that was based on evidence from pilot implementation and research. It was essential to have a good data management and analysis system, quality data, strengthened data quality assurance, and a good data tracking and visualization system. Using the work in Senegal as an example, Dr. Cissé elaborated on the case investigation approaches used in Senegal, which included FTAT/FSTAT, FTAT, FDA, and MFDA.
