What is WHO Global Salm-Surv?
• A network of institutions and individuals committed to enhancing the capacity of national ministries of health and national reference laboratories to detect, respond and prevent foodborne and other infectious, enteric diseases
What does WHO Global Salm-Surv do?
• Promote integrated, laboratory-based surveillance and outbreak detection and response
• Foster inter-sectoral collaboration and communication among microbiologists and epidemiologists in human health, veterinary, and food-related disciplines
The First Question to Answer:
Why Collaborate? Partnership can provide a stronger, more sustainable impact in foodborne disease surveillance and response.

Step I: IDENTIFY
Step 2: ASSESS
Step 3: TRAIN
Step 4: PRODUCE
Step 5: FUND
Who Will the Collaboration Effect? We want to IDENTIFY (Step 1):
GSS Member Countries currently taking part in
PulseNet/producing PulseNet data
GSS Member Countries with PFGE capacity, but
unable to establish PulseNet in their country
GSS Member Countries that have established PulseNet, but
not currently subtyping

Who Will the Collaboration Effect? We want to ASSESS (Step 2):
PulseNet activities in regions/countries that are involved in both PulseNet and/or WHO-GSS country members.
1) PulseNet activities being held in a country and/or region.
2) Answer the question: Why is PulseNet not in their country?

What Will the Collaboration Help do? We want to TRAIN (Step 3): Create and test pilot training modules created for a specific region at WHO Global Salm-Surv Advanced Workshops. Modules can include:
1) Lectures/exercises on collaboration between epidemiologists and microbiologists using PulseNet data for surveillance, detecting clusters, and during outbreak investigation
2) How to advocate for support of PulseNet in their country and/or region.

What Will the Collaboration Help do? We want to PRODUCE (Step 4): Assist in initiating country/regional projects as an outcome of the joint WHO-GSS/PulseNet International Workshops. Skills received from the workshop can then be utilized in:
1) Initiating a new enhanced foodborne disease surveillance project
2) Adding a new component to an already established country or regional project

What Will the Collaboration Help do? We want to PROVIDE SKILLS SO THEY CAN
LOCATE FUNDS (Step 5): 1) Provide members with necessary tools, resources, and skills so they can achieve support
2) Establish partnership approach to present to possible funders/donors
Regional PulseNet + Regional WHO-GSS activities = Stronger, Sustainable Activities

TRAIN: Create an agenda for WHO-Global Salm-Surv South America Advanced Workshop II, May 2008
PRODUCE: Begin discussion on possible projects that partner utilizing GSS and PulseNet skills
