The purpose of the presentation is to provide an insight into the complex and fragmented set up of municipal disease surveillance in the Indian context. With the implementation of the Integrated Disease and Surveillance Program (IDSP) the central Indian government tried to bridge existing surveillance components and programmes and to integrate them under one umbrella. The funding from central level for the implementation of the program was provided just for rural areas through the National Health Mission (NHM). Despite the NHM’s broader focus as compare to the earlier National Rural Health Mission continues to be delay and neglect of implementation in urban areas. The potential and challenges of the implementation within the Pune Municipal Cooperation will be assessed and recommendation will be provided.
Methods: The research is based on a literature search, semi-structured expert interviews and infectious disease surveillance concept mapping.
To conclude the IDSP initiative has improved the traditionally difficult monitoring of disease burden and outbreak control but is still rather patchy and has challenges which needs to be address like the urban area coverage with strengthening hospital based disease surveillance. The IDSP continuous to face serious challenges this needs to be overcome to strengthen the early warning capacity and bridge the urban rural divide in the interest of public health.
