Introduction

Surveillance refers to the systematic gathering, examination, and distribution of findings with the aim of averting or stopping undesirable events. Surveillance provides us with information on the nature and extent of our problems, the areas where solutions should be focused, the effectiveness of these remedies. Surveillance is crucial for effectively implementing and maintaining public health interventions aimed at diseases prevention. Also, surveillance is important in public places and work places. Surveillance systems and technologies evolved in recent years, and became more diverse. This book gives focus on the recent surveillance systems and technologies implemented.
