This section presents Georgia’s disease surveillance and epidemiology infrastructure in English — the national immunisation schedule, mandatory disease reporting system, flagship elimination programmes, major epidemiological burdens and the One Health surveillance framework. These resources complement the Clinical Guidelines and IPC Resources sections. When ncdc.ge is unavailable, this hub provides the reference data international professionals and researchers need.
The National Centre for Disease Control and Public Health (NCDC) is Georgia’s lead epidemiological surveillance agency. PHIG maintains this English-language reference hub to make Georgian public health surveillance data and frameworks accessible to international researchers, WHO partners, accreditation bodies and the global public health community.
