"FluWatch is Canada's national surveillance system that monitors the spread of influenza and influenza-like illnesses on an ongoing basis.

Program objectives are: •DETECT: Identify signals to detect, assess and respond to epidemics and other events of public health concern. •INFORM: Contribute to the evidence base necessary to plan, develop and implement health programs and policies for the control of influenza. •ENABLE: Support national infrastructure for influenza surveillance, including national and international collaborations related to surveillance and pandemic response.

FluWatch consists of seven surveillance systems components and together they provide a national picture of influenza activity in Canada. "
