Summary
ePHEM is a digital platform designed to improve public health emergency management in Burkina Faso, supported by the WHO. Aimed at Health Emergency Response Operation Centers (CORUS), it facilitates the coordination and response to critical health events by centralizing the management of signals, incidents, requests and discussions. The platform offers strategic risk assessment and planning tools, including integrated calendars and automated notifications. By encouraging multi-sector collaboration and event-based surveillance, ePHEM aims to strengthen the response to health emergencies, primarily targeting healthcare professionals and facilities, both urban and rural. However, it is not open source and works with proprietary file import/export formats.
