In a statement, the Ministry of Health said that the issues discussed at the meeting focused on three main pillars, namely the collection, analysis and dissemination of data, the investigation of clusters of cases and the epidemiological investigation of emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases.
The meeting also discussed training in epidemiology and more generally in the field of public health in relation to infectious diseases.
In this context, the considerable experience of the Italian authorities in epidemiological surveillance and control of infectious diseases was assessed and the possibility of cooperation in the design of strategic plans to address them was explored.
In conclusion, it was decided that the competent services of the two Ministries should start cooperation in order to formulate the Memorandum of Understanding, which will be signed at a later stage between the two countries.
