The presentation “Data for Global Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence” outlines how improved data collection, surveillance, analytics, and digital tools can strengthen global preparedness and response to health emergencies. It explains the concept of epidemic intelligence, highlighting the integration of multiple data sources—such as traditional surveillance, genomics, open-source information, and modelling—to support timely and evidence-based decision-making. The presentation also showcases initiatives of the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, including collaborative data platforms, pathogen genomics networks, analytic communities of practice, and a decision-support pandemic simulator designed to enhance rapid, coordinated responses to future outbreaks.
