TRIBUNNEWS.COM, JAKARTA – Epidemiologist Griffith University Dicky Budiman said the Covid-19 pandemic has many lessons to be learned.
One of them is strengthening the health system and early detection.
On the other hand, according to Dicky, what the government has planned to address the mysterious acute hepatitis problem is correct.
However, bio-surveillance must be built from health facilities to the basic level. Starting from private practice, clinics, health centers to hospitals.
Bio surveillance is a systematic process of collecting, processing, analyzing and interpreting data.
This is done continuously, and it is necessary to disseminate information to units that need to be able to take action.
“This will provide an adequate supply of data information. If a new disease occurs or appears, it could also be due to a change in the existing disease,” said Dicky to Tribunnews, Sunday (8/4/2022).

That is why, in responding to or responding to Hepatitis, it is necessary to increase and improve the surveillance system.
Then responding to this phenomenon need to build communication with the public. Of course, what becomes very important is collaboration with the global world.
Because according to Dicky, Indonesia is still limited in its early detection or sequencing capabilities.
