Contact system to detect and trace disease outbreaks
COVID-19 contact tracing system enhancement for the Ministry of Health Cambodia
This project builds on the existing 115 health hotline for public participation used to detect disease outbreak signals in the community.
Challenges to address
The current contact tracing is that the current 115 system can only handle 10,000 numbers per day and the daily export from WHO-GO Data is done manually, which is time consuming and there is a risk of error when entering data manually.
Activities
This project will enhance the contact tracing by making system enhancements so the 115 hotline can increase its capacity to 100,000 contacts per day. It will also connect the hotline with the WHo Go Data system that enables automatic contact list transfers.
