KUWAIT CITY, Nov 6: The Ministry of Health, through the Kuwait Center for Disease Prevention and Control, has launched the global Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources (EIOS). This global platform uses digital technology to monitor and analyze public health information from thousands of sources 24/7.
The Ministry of Health explained that the platform's launch coincided with a training workshop attended by experts from the World Health Organization. The workshop aimed to equip national teams with the skills necessary to effectively use and analyze the platform's data.
The primary goal of the platform is to enhance the Ministry’s ability to detect, verify, and monitor public health threats early. It achieves this by gathering and analyzing data from a variety of sources, including media outlets, social media, health reports, and government websites.
