Developing the monitoring of infectious diseases

The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare will enhance its function that monitors the spread of dangerous diseases on a daily basis in the manner of a situation center, produces analyses and communicates actively and systematically at least with the Government situation center, administrative branches of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, international actors and the scientific community. A common taxonomy is also required to enable the decisive initiation of the necessary measures planned in advance.
