Timely and reliable access to FMD information improves the quality and cost-effectiveness of FMD surveillance, enhances early warning response to new emerging FMD virus threats, and supports prevention, improved management and more targeted evidence-driven decision-making processes for FMD control
Through the openFMD platform, we aim to strengthen the prevention and control of FMD by real-time monitoring and reporting of disease events at both regional and global levels through an effective digital surveillance system that enhances early FMD virus threats detection and assessment.
