The lecture was quite fast. But, the informations that Mr. Stefan provided in quick succession was worthy as a beginner in public health practices.

I did this course as part of the "Epidemiology in Public Health Practice Specialization". This course gave me a little bit of extra information, but I didn't lear many new things. Additionally, it seems outdated in some of its content.

Cher(e) Responsable de la commission des cours, Je vous remercie vivement pour l’opportunité de partager ces réflexions et perspectives sur les systèmes de surveillance en santé publique. En tant que professeur en Géopolitique des Balkans et Ambassadeur de Paix auprès de l'Office des Nations Unies, j'ai toujours vu l'importance de l’analyse, de la diffusion et des systèmes spécialisés comme éléments clés dans la mise en place de stratégies de prévention efficaces face aux défis sanitaires mondiaux. Les systèmes de surveillance en santé publique jouent un rôle central en permettant l’identification précoce des menaces, notamment dans les domaines des maladies infectieuses et chroniques. Votre analyse sur la manière dont les différents aspects de ces systèmes, notamment l’analyse des données, la diffusion des résultats et la mise en œuvre de systèmes spécialisés, est non seulement pertinente mais aussi nécessaire pour une gestion efficace des crises sanitaires à l'échelle mondiale. L'exemple des systèmes de surveillance pour les maladies non transmissibles (MNT), les maladies environnementales ou les blessures, ainsi que leur application dans des contextes comme celui du Kosovo, montre à quel point la collecte, l’analyse et l'interprétation des données peuvent jouer un rôle décisif dans la mise en œuvre de politiques de santé publique adaptées. En tant que responsable du Comité Suisse pour la reconnaissance de la République du Kosovo auprès des Nations Unies, je travaille sans relâche à promouvoir l’acceptation du Kosovo sur la scène internationale, en soulignant notamment son rôle dans la résolution des défis sanitaires régionaux et mondiaux. Je suis particulièrement intéressé par la manière dont les systèmes de surveillance peuvent être utilisés pour anticiper et répondre aux risques de santé dans des contextes géopolitiques complexes. Cette dimension de la surveillance, qui inclut des initiatives comme la Fondation SKUN et d’autres efforts diplomatiques, me semble essentielle pour favoriser une approche collective en matière de santé mondiale. Je me réjouis de pouvoir continuer cette conversation et d’explorer davantage les voies de collaboration possibles, tant au niveau académique que diplomatique, pour renforcer la reconnaissance internationale du Kosovo et promouvoir la paix, la réconciliation et la santé publique mondiale. Je vous prie d’agréer, cher(e) Responsable de la commission des cours, l’expression de mes salutations distinguées. Prof. Dr. Muharrem Shabani Ambassadeur de Paix auprès de l'Office des Nations Unies Président & Fondateur, Fondation SKUN pour la reconnaissance de la République du Kosovo Rue de Lausanne 45, CH-1201 Genève Mobile: +41 (0)76 562 07 84 ambassador.m.shabani@skunfoundation.org Twitter: @MShabani4 www.skunfoundation.org

I can truly say that this course has taught me so many new things like the type of analysis that can be conducted when using surveillance data, assessing trends when using geographic and personal level data. Thank you all so much and I can assure you that this information is well received and will be used in my daily activities. Thanks again

With each new class, I have found excellence in the information I have been provided. I have found a special interest in this subject, especially taking the COVID situation into account. There is a lot of information provided and I can only hope I will retain at least half of it, I thought the class amazing.

This is a great follow-up to the preceding course (Surveillance Systems: The Building Blocks) in the Coursera Specialization series where it belongs. I recommend this course for those who are thinking of entering a graduate-level program in public health and/or working in epidemiology bureaus or units.

Thank you so much for this informative course. I learned about a lot of new approaches here. it's just that we don't apply most of them in my country here. But still, It was very beneficial and it's going to help me in my future career. Thanks again :).

I think it was a great course, to learn about the different surveillance systems that exist, and that one can use to make informed decisions or even plan to implement one of the various surveillance systems in one´s country.

Very well organized slides - thank you!
I think there was one question on a quick about outbreaks that wasn't covered in the lectures, but this may be OK given that you can re-take the quiz without penalty.

Together with Emily Gurley's course on Surveillance Systems, I have learned a lot about facing different threats and how it should be expected for epidemiologic departments to respond to these situations.
