National Surveillance Manual for Jamaica

About this document

How Jamaica’s surveillance system works, and the protocol for each notifiable disease. The first eight chapters cover surveillance concepts, definitions, roles and processes; chapters nine to fifteen cover specialised settings such as disasters, hotel and port health, and the International Health Regulations. Investigation forms, tools and reference guidelines are in the appendices, and each is also in this library on its own.

This edition (MOH-DOC-600-2, revision 3) replaces the 2009 manual.
