Abstract

The concept of Epidemiological Surveillance in a Complex Humanitarian Emergency would depend upon the emergency itself and where it is taking place. The history of epidemiology goes to back to the eighteenth century when a disease was finally tracked to its origins and therefore the treatment involved the removal of the causative agents. The study of epidemiology expanded in the recent turn of the century when newer diseases, infectious and nutritional were studied prospectively and retrospectively. The study even went on to traumatology where similar models were used to find the cause and prevention. Natural disasters and epidemiological case models were used to build an infrastructure of investigation, mitigation, prevention and treatment [1].
