FluWatch 2015-2016

FluWatch is Canada's national surveillance system that monitors the spread of influenza and influenza-like illnesses on an ongoing basis.

The FluWatch program consists of a network of labs, hospitals, doctor's offices and provincial and territorial ministries of health. Program objectives are:
• DETECT: Identify signals to detect, assess and respond to epidemics and other events of public health concern.
• INFORM: Contribute to the evidence base necessary to plan, develop and implement health programs and policies for the control of influenza.
• ENABLE: Support national infrastructure for influenza surveillance, including national and international collaborations related to surveillance and pandemic response.
