A Mobile, Integrated Disease Surveillance System
Disease surveillance is an important aspect of any public health-care programme that serves two
essential purposes, one of which is monitoring the progress of ongoing medical interventions for
disease reduction, and the other is for the early detection of outbreaks to initiate investigative and
control measures. Disease Surveillance is also a basic tool for the field epidemiologist as surveillance
data provide a scientific basis for implementation of an appropriate health-care policy, disease control
decisions, the evaluation of the efficacy of surveillance initiatives, and for the allocation of resources in
the primary health-care system.

FarsiTeachNet
FarsiTeachNet is an online community of practice for Farsi speaking teachers around the world.
We see teachers earning their rightful place in society, as the educators of the next generations. They have the respect of their students, the parents, and members of the community who appreciate their contributions. They are able to focus exclusively on teaching, earning a living and spending their time with students and improving their professional skills. They have a network of colleagues that provide advice and support and they interact with peers on an international basis. FTN mobilizes Farsi Speaking teachers’ energy, experience and knowledge to make a sustained change in their educational community. As a result, the citizens of these countries participate more fully in goal setting for the social agenda as better problem solvers and decision makers.
