Abstract

The article discusses a report on the design and implementation of an Internally Displaced Persons Disease Surveillance System (IDPSS) following the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, published in a 2010 issue of "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report." Communication difficulties with non-government organizations (NGO) and utility limitations are considered as the challenges to the implementation of the IDPSS. The authors argue that logistical and operational challenges surround the post-earthquake implementation of IDPSS. They note that developing and adopting standard surveillance tools are needed to improve humanitarian response. An overview of the data gathered through IDPSS is also given.
