Better Health Information for Better Health Policy

We are a global network of health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSSs) that provide a more complete picture of the health status of communities. Since they collect data from whole communities over extended time periods, they more accurately reflect health and population problems in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The HDSS increasingly link population and health facility data to implement the new Comprehensive Health and Epidemiological Surveillance System (CHESS).
