Background
ICS meeting, Copenhagen, October 2010
ICS research meetings were conducted in Copenhagen on September 20-24, 2010. ICS specialists met to discuss ongoing research and surveillance in the areas of viral Hepatitis, Helicobacter pylori, climate sensitive infectious diseases, and tuberculosis. Participants again discussed the possibility to conduct a meeting in Russia to discuss current infectious disease surveillance systems, data collection and administrative issues that may need to be resolved to engage Russian specialists and medical institutions to the ICS work. Khanty-Mansiysk has kindly agreed to host such meeting on April 18-20, 2011. The meeting will be specifically focused on tuberculosis issues and possibilities of data exchange within the ICS.
