Abstract：
Geospatial data reporting from surveillance and immunization efforts is a key aspect of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Polio Eradication Initiative in Africa. These activities are coordinated through the WHO Regional Office for Africa Geographic Information Systems Centre. To ensure the accuracy of field-collected data, the WHO Regional Office for Africa Geographic Information Systems Centre has developed mobile phone apps such as electronic surveillance (eSURV) and integrated supportive supervision (ISS) geospatial data collection programs. While eSURV and ISS have played a vital role in efforts to eradicate polio and control other communicable diseases in Africa, disease surveillance efforts have been hampered by incomplete and inaccurate listings of health care sites throughout the continent. To address this shortcoming, data compiled from eSURV and ISS are being used to develop, update, and validate a Health Facility master list for the WHO African region that contains comprehensive listings of the names, locations, and types of health facilities in each member state. The WHO and Ministry of Health field officers are responsible for documenting and transmitting the relevant geospatial location information regarding health facilities and traditional medicine sites using the eSURV and ISS form; this information is then used to update the Health Facility master list and is also made available to national ministries of health to update their respective health facility lists. This consolidation of health facility information into a single registry is expected to improve disease surveillance and facilitate epidemiologic research for the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, as well as aid public health efforts directed at other diseases across the African continent. This review examines active surveillance using eSURV at the district, country, and regional levels, highlighting its role in supporting polio surveillance and immunization efforts, as well as its potential to serve as a fundamental basis for broader public health initiatives and research throughout Africa.
摘要：
监测和免疫工作的地理空间数据报告是世界卫生组织(世卫组织)全球根除非洲小儿麻痹症倡议的一个关键方面。这些活动通过世卫组织非洲地理信息系统区域办事处中心进行协调。为保证现场采集数据的准确性,世卫组织非洲区域办事处地理信息系统中心开发了移动电话应用程序，如电子监测(eSURV)和综合支持监督(ISS)地理空间数据收集计划。虽然eSURV和国际空间站在非洲根除小儿麻痹症和控制其他传染病的努力中发挥了至关重要的作用，整个非洲大陆的卫生保健站点列表不完整和不准确，阻碍了疾病监测工作。为了解决这个缺点，来自eSURV和国际空间站的数据正在用于开发，更新,并验证世卫组织非洲区域的卫生设施主列表，其中包含名称的全面列表，地点,以及每个成员国的卫生设施类型。世卫组织和卫生部现场官员负责使用eSURV和ISS表格记录和传送有关卫生设施和传统药物场所的相关地理空间位置信息；然后，这些信息用于更新卫生设施主清单，并提供给国家卫生部以更新其各自的卫生设施清单。将卫生设施信息合并到一个单一的登记册中，预计将改善疾病监测并促进全球根除脊髓灰质炎倡议的流行病学研究。以及针对非洲大陆其他疾病的公共卫生援助工作。这篇综述检查了该地区使用eSURV的主动监测，国家,和区域层面，强调其在支持脊髓灰质炎监测和免疫工作中的作用，以及它作为整个非洲更广泛的公共卫生倡议和研究的基本基础的潜力。
