The Norwegian Red Cross presented the NYSS platform at the Geneva Health Forum this May. The Geneva Health Forum is hosted by Geneva University Hospitals and the University of Geneva with the goal of bringing together actors from all sectors of health.
NYSS was presented as a health innovation next to other innovations from all over the world looking to find solutions to global health challenges.
As NYSS facilitates community-based surveillance by providing real-time detection, reporting, aggregating and analysis of information on health risks, it works to extend existing surveillance systems into the community, it helps to promote early detection and response to outbreaks.
