The session brought together a diverse group of experts, policymakers, practitioners, and community stakeholders to engage in an interactive session on how India can move beyond siloed, reactive surveillance systems toward a collaborative model that is integrative, anticipatory, and inclusive. Using real-world health issues- avian influenza, dengue, heat-related illness, and air quality- participants identified key stakeholders, risks, and decision points.
The session emphasized inclusive partnerships, improved data sharing, clear action thresholds, and the central role of marginalized communities. Chaired by Dr. Masaya Kato and moderated by Dr. Angela Chaudhuri, the workshop showcased a transformative, people-centered vision for health surveillance.
