Abstract:
The outbreak of infectious diseases is a major problem impacting the health of African people and global public health. It is important to establish a surveillance system and conduct continuous, appropriate and systemic surveillance for the prevention and control of infectious diseases. With the implementation of "The Belt and Road Initiative" , the communication and collaboration between China and Africa will be enhanced. Understanding and taking part in the surveillance, prevention and control of infectious diseases in Africa would be helpful for ensuring global public health and promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa. This paper aims to introduce and analyze the current status of surveillance for infectious diseases in Africa from the aspect of whole Africa, partial Africa and some African countries to provide reference for the prevention and control of imported infectious diseases in China and implementation of international medical relief by China.
