Implemented for both indicator-based surveillance and for event-based surveillance.

Brief Description

"Nepal decided to use SORMAS to address the existing gaps in the event-based surveillance system of the country, especially for early detection and response of outbreaks at the community level, through real-time digital surveillance. An open source e-health system that integrates epidemiological and laboratory surveillance together along with features like interoperability and offline capability are its important components, making SORMAS a standout choice."
