Only when public health authorities, healthcare providers, organizations of people at risk and scientific researchers form a network and join forces to combat the disease, significant progress can be made. ESWI has been assisting the establishment of such networks in different countries for several years now. Over the years, it’s Country Influenza Stakeholders Networks (CISN) concept has proven an effective methodology to tackle influenza nationwide and, ultimately, to enhance national public health.
