Global Public Health Intelligence Network (GPHIN)
GPHIN is a secure, Internet-based "early warning" system that gathers preliminary reports of public health significance in seven languages on a real-time, 24/7 basis.
This unique, multilingual system gathers and disseminates relevant information on disease outbreaks and other public health events by monitoring global media sources such as news wires and web sites. The information is filtered for relevancy by an automated process, and then analyzed by Public Health Agency of Canada GPHIN officials.
The output is categorized and made accessible to users. Notifications about public health events that may have serious public health consequences are immediately forwarded to users.
GPHIN has a broad scope. It tracks topics such as disease outbreaks, infectious diseases, contaminated food and water, bio-terrorism and exposure to chemical and radio-nuclear agents, and natural disasters. It also monitors issues related to the safety of products, drugs and medical devices.

Avian Flu Under the Microscope
Thnkquest student project
We felt that it was important for our readers to understand what exactly this "Avian Flu" virus is, what is it's potential danger to human, what is being done globally to combat this disease, where it has traveled, and more importantly what our readers can do to protect themselves. You can start by following the links to the individual sections of the web site, which each address a specific topic about the avian flu. These topics are:
| virus | disease | transmission | vaccine | situation |
As a team this was our goal, to raise awareness and educate others through this web site. By looking closely at the virus and its movement, providing information from around the world, we can give ordinary people a way they can combat this Flu. This is crucial, as the prevention and control of the avian flu in certain situations is determined by the actions of the people.
We built our web site for young adults, age 15 and up, who are interested to learn, in more detail, about avian flu.
