Overview
The Pacific Syndromic Surveillance System (PSSS) collects data on the following syndromes: acute fever and rash, diarrhea, influenza-like-illness, prolonged fever and dengue-like illness. PSSS serves as an invaluable early warning tool for common outbreak-prone diseases and a mechanism for regular contact between Pacific island countries and areas, WHO and other international agencies such as the Secretariat of the Pacific Community.
