AN online platform has been launched for healthcare professionals to submit information related to infectious diseases.

The epidemiologic investigation platform is aimed at helping strengthen monitoring of infectious diseases in Bahrain and take effective measures to prevent and control their spread.

“The new platform allows healthcare professionals to report infectious diseases quickly and easily, as well as connects government and private health facilities with the Public Health Directorate (PHD) about infectious diseases that are detected at these facilities,” said PHD director Dr Mohammed Al Awadhi.
