Mission The Middle East Consortium on Infectious Disease Surveillance (MECIDS) is a program focused on prevention of infectious diseases and food-borne illness. MECIDS facilitates collaboration between Israel, Jordan and Palestine to implement action plans in the event of a disease outbreak. MECIDS also facilitates dialogue between nations on recent developments in the health field, to renew their acquaintances, and to plan future activities. |
|
| Background Since its founding in 2003, MECIDS has focused on food borne diseases, offering multinational training courses for health workers from Palestine, Israel and Jordan, giving them a chance to meet each other while honing their professional skills and creating a system through which the participating Ministries of Health share information directly. MECIDS members use this website to communicate with each other, post any new disease outbreaks, and report any suspected/confirmed avian influenza cases though a secured password protected area. |
