Background report

Understanding disability as the level of difficulties a person is facing when performing basic activities that could put him/...her at risk of not participating in society, the prevalence of disability found by the study was markedly higher than the existing disability statistics at around 2-3% to less than 10%, many of which used questions focusing on a person’s medical conditions or impairments.

La surveillance épidémiologique est un processus continu de collecte, d’analyse et de diffusion d’informations pour la prise d’actions de riposte. Les activités de surveillance épidémiologique sont mises en œuvre au Sénégal selon la stratégie SIMR (Surveillance Intégrée de la Maladi...e et Riposte) et suivant le RSI (version 2005).
