About us

Background

           The Weekly Epidemiological Surveillance Report (WESR) is a public health bulletin owned and published by the Division of Epidemiology, Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. Since 1969, the Division has been preparing disease surveillance reports, and since 1982, it has been publishing epidemiological information through the WESR. The primary goal of the WESR is to disseminate essential public health findings, correct misinformation, and publish academic articles on disease surveillance, prevention and control, and potential public health threats. Furthermore, the WESR provides an overview of the public health situation at both local and national levels in a timely and objective manner.

Policy and scope of publication

         

              The Division of Epidemiology’s main mission is to disseminate information and provide early warnings about disease outbreaks and health threats. The WESR serves as a key channel for public health communication among the Thai government, public health professionals, and the general public.

                   The WESR publishes articles on surveillance, prevention, and control measures of communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, and occupational and environmental diseases. It also publishes original research articles, project progress reports, case reports, and outbreak investigation reports. Furthermore, the WESR provides guidelines for relevant agencies to support the timely and effective implementation of disease surveillance systems and disease/health threats prevention and control programs.
