Dr. Suwannarong and a local IT expert carried out a “Feasibility Study and Landscape Analysis on a New Pandemic Management System (PMS) for Data Collection, Management, and Dashboard Visualization in Cambodia” for the Ministry of Health Cambodia, with support from the World Bank Cambodia. This aimed to assess the feasibility of launching the new PMS and/or integrating the current surveillance systems to prepare for future pandemics. This study was to gather detailed information regarding the current surveillance systems within Cambodia’s pandemic preparedness framework and to create and execute a new PMS.
We hope that the findings of this study will assist the Ministry of Health’s Communicable Disease Control Center in developing a robust and effective pandemic management system that can be integrated with appropriate systems in the future.
