| Abstract | Data generated by the 49 Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) field sites run by 43 research centers that make up the INDEPTH Network offer a valuable corrective to the dearth of robust and objective health information in low- and middleincome countries (LMICs). The field sites collect regular data from defined demographic surveillance areas as well as conduct ad-hoc studies to assess policy and program interventions. The data allow policy-makers in Africa, Asia and Oceania where the field sites are located, to track emerging health threats from both infectious and non-communicable diseases, and to assess in realtime the effectiveness of interventions to tackle them. |
