Technical Report: National Surveillance Centre Technical Brief

The National Department of Health (NDOH) in South Africa is implementing an outcomes-based framework to improve medicine availability across the country. The National Surveillance Center (NSC) is integral to this process because the NSC monitors and analyzes the data used to inform NDOH’s understanding of medicine availability. Data from the NSC can help to improve the availability of the life-saving medications used to treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and other diseases in public health care facilities by increasing visibility of the public health supply chain.
