The Correlation between Global Disease Surveillance and Domestic Disease Surveillance
Both Global disease and domestic disease surveillance entails tracking, detection, assessment, and response to health events. However, domestic disease surveillance involves systematic data collection, comprehensive analysis, and interpretation of data from households (Nsubuga et al., 2006). Global disease surveillance, countries, and public health entities across the globe gang up efforts to ensure capacity building to ensure preparedness for global health emergencies (Lemon, 2007). Early detection of diseases averts the occurrence and re-occurrence of such infectious diseases, thus minimizes global health threats (Lemon, 2007). Family nurse practitioners have the capability of making long-lasting relationships with patients. These nurses, therefore, empower individuals to make positive health choices as well as influence them to adopt healthy lifestyle practices that help in the prevention of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes. They also ensure that the surveillance programs cover the most remote at-risk population.
