Climate-Disease surveillance

Dear All,
Are there any countries/organizations using DHIS2 for climate-disease surveillance? This is to predict the disease outbreak/increase of disease as per the climate (temp, rainfall, humidity) and accordingly notify a health worker for preparedness.

If so, kindly share your experiences.

Thank you

Hi everybody,
Just wanted to share that WHO has been working on a application to extract data from Google Earth Engine and bring it into DHIS2 with a view to monitor climate related disease risks!
The application extracts values from any data set provided through Google Earth Engine for a given subset of DHIS2 OUs (using their coordinates), a certain period and datasets/variables mapping and injects them into a DHIS2 data set. It also allows to integrate national observations (if available).

The application was developed by EyeSeeTea and it is available for free at the following repo:

Hoping it will help you out with your projects!
