The WMMR is built on surveillance data that health service providers and NGOs transmit on a weekly basis from health facilities and hospitals in those areas affected by the earthquake that struck Pakistan on 8 October 2005. The WMMR objectives are to monitor the trend of health conditions over a period of time and provide vital information to all health partners. The WMMR is only a snapshot of the health conditions in those facilities where events are registered and data collected and does not necessarily reflect the situation from other health facilities. The WMMR is a publication that has been developed for emergencies and previously used in other areas such as the Darfur Crisis. The WMMR is published by the World Health Organization (WHO), Health Emergency Operation Centre, House #6, Street #20, F-7/2, Islamabad, Pakistan For More Information, please contact: Dorcas Taylor, Epidemiologist, WHO/EHA/Pakistan; [email protected] or Dr. Birjees Mazher Kazi, Chief, Public Health Laboratories Division, NIH MOH; [email protected] or WHO Webpage: http://www.whopak.org/disaster WMMR Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report Pakistan 11 Oct 2006 / Vol. 46/ DEWS 2006 -40 Reporting Units The number of sites able to report increased by 4 this week and the reporting timeliness of the DEWS system has increased by 1% compared with week 39.
