Abstract
Introduction: measles remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. The disease is endemic in Nigeria. In 2005, measles case-based surveillance was introduced in Nigeria. Hence, between January and March 2017, we evaluated Enugu State Measles Surveillance System in order to describe the various attributes of the system, determine whether the system is meeting its set public health objectives, identify gaps in the surveillance system and recommend appropriate measures for improvement.
