The new Integrated Disease Surveillance (IDSR) regional strategy emphasizes the interlinkages within the IDSR as an integral part of health systems strengthening to achieve universal health coverage (UHC). 

The first objective of the new IDSR strategy is to strengthen national capacity for early detection, complete recording, timely reporting, regular analysis and prompt feedback of IDSR priority diseases, events and conditions at all levels. The second objective is to strengthen national and supranational laboratory capacity to confirm IDSR priority diseases, events and conditions. The third objective is to strengthen capacity for public health emergency preparedness and response at all levels.

The new strategy also provides guidance to Member States on strengthening the IDSR in alignment with broader national policies and plans and an integrated supervision, monitoring and evaluation system. Finally, it stipulates milestones, targets and priority interventions to guide Member States.
