I would like for us to have a coherent national surveillance architecture to achieve interoperability of systems and tools, to have a single standard agreed set of indicators for surveillance; for partners to work collectively to strengthen surveillance; and to ensure that surveillance data is effectively translated into public health action. - Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu
