| Why is An important vulnerability of cities zoonotic diseases? | species-crossing of infectious disease agents in wholesale and retail wet markets and large number of domestic pets and poorly regulated small livestock holdings | Cities being major travel hubs further accentuated their vulnerability to disease outbreaks in the globalized world. An important vulnerability of cities is zoonotic diseases due to species-crossing of infectious disease agents in wholesale and retail wet markets and large number of domestic pets and poorly regulated small livestock holdings. Limiting such risks requires a “One Health” approach ensuring adequate interface and effective coordination between animal and human health sectors. | 182 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334669_80250236601680676956.pdf | An important vulnerability of cities is zoonotic diseases due to species-crossing of infectious disease agents in wholesale and retail wet markets and large number of domestic pets and poorly regulated small livestock holdings. | 4 | page=4,block=1 | 0.800 | valid |
| Why is There also an increased vulnerability of metropolitan cities for outbreaks of novel diseases? | huge domestic and international travels | These cities have elevated risk of epidemics due to large population size, high population density, inadequate drinking water facilities, poor sanitary and environmental conditions, and rapidly expanding developmental activities like large infrastructure projects making disease surveillance a challenging task. There is also an increased vulnerability of metropolitan cities for outbreaks of novel diseases due to huge domestic and international travels. Further, the governance in the metropolitan cities is predominantly through the municipal corporations with a limited presence and role of the district based systems and programs like IDSP. | 415 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334669_80250236601680676956.pdf | There is also an increased vulnerability of metropolitan cities for outbreaks of novel diseases due to huge domestic and international travels. | 6 | page=6,block=1 | 0.800 | valid |
| How can the education department promote good hygiene practices among school children? | Training of teachers in detection and reporting of common communicable diseases among school children | a zoonotic disease outbreak is detected. joint inspection of potential hot spots for zoonotic disease transmission (such as informal livestock yards, poultries, wet markets, zoos, and slaughterhouses) should be undertaken as part of assessment of incidents that are reported through the event based surveillance system. To monitor, in the municipal corporation areas, the implementation of National Antimicrobial Resistance Containment Program and National One Health Program for prevention and control of zoonotic diseases under the NCDC. Education: Partnership with education department will help to promote good hygiene practices among school children and help school to home transmission of such good practices. Training of teachers in detection and reporting of common communicable diseases among school children and linkages with school health programme will also be important. | 716 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334669_80250236601680676956.pdf | Education: Partnership with education department will help to promote good hygiene practices among school children and help school to home transmission of such good practices.

| How does the MSU ensure coordination and process real-time data? | The MSU will maintain constant coordination and analyse real-time data being generated by reporting units from public and private sectors through IHIP. | Functioning of the MSU • The MSU is expected to strengthen surveillance activities in the city / corporation area through inclusion of all health facilities in the IDSP reporting network and ensure the reporting as per the mandate of the programme • The MSU will maintain constant coordination and analyse real-time data being generated by reporting units from public and private sectors through IHIP. • The MSU will identify alerts for communicable disease outbreaks and provide technical guidance to the response. • The MSU will join the RRTs for outbreak investigations as and when required. • The MSU through PHSRC will maintain constant contact with the state surveillance and response centre (or State PHEOC), state surveillance unit, NCDC regional centre and CSU, POE, IDSP at NCDC for additional support and technical guidance, especially for handling outbreaks of novel diseases and situations where multi-city/state response is required. | 250 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334669_80250236601680676956.pdf | Functioning of the MSU • The MSU is expected to strengthen surveillance activities in the city / corporation area through inclusion of all health facilities in the IDSP reporting network and ensure the reporting as per the mandate of the programme • The MSU will maintain constant coordination and analyse real-time data being generated by reporting units from public and private sectors through IHIP. • The MSU will identify alerts for communicable disease outbreaks and provide technical guidance to the response. |
| How is the need for laboratory support evaluated for metropolitan surveillance? | based on self-assessment by the corporation | 3. Core guiding principles for supporting Metropolitan surveillance under the PM ABHIM • The primary focus of the metropolitan surveillance unit will be on diseases under surveillance listed under IDSP • The program gives flexibility to cities to identify and address specific gaps • The IT systems will utilize IHIP with appropriate additional modules to respond to city specific needs • The program will not have a fixed blueprint for staffing but could support up to fifteen core staff addressing critical gaps identified by the city administration and depending on city tier. The core staff shall be supported by 5-6 additional staff. • Laboratory support is available and is based on self-assessment by the corporation with respect to the nature and type of laboratory activities required to be undertaken. | 680 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/resource/1769334669_80250236601680676956.pdf | • Laboratory support is available and is based on self-assessment by the corporation with respect to the nature and type of laboratory activities required to be undertaken. | 7 | page=7,block=1 |
