Surveillance

Resistance signals across organisms, drug classes and regions.

Illustrative operational scenarios; historical laboratory evidence is identified separately. No live surveillance, integrations or AI models are connected.

Population registration strategy
1

Registration channels

In person at primary healthcare centres and main hospitals, or electronically through text-message response and phone calls.

2

Registration teams

Each primary healthcare centre serves as the registration site for its neighbourhood; the nearest centre covers neighbourhoods without one.

3

Registration platform

A unified cluster-based platform, or existing systems, generates a registration number linked to the national ID and integrated with cluster electronic medical records.

4

Communication plan

A marketing campaign with mosque announcements, posters and flyers, social media and mass messaging with supporting entities.

5

Retrospective registration

Records of individuals already using Ministry of Health or National Guard services are retrieved and added, with follow-up contact for missing minimum data.
