Singapore will begin enhanced surveillance of three infectious diseases on October 31, 2026, as part of its public health strategy. The government announced the measure in a report published by *The Straits Times* on October 19, 2026. The targeted diseases include dengue, influenza, and tuberculosis.
The new surveillance plan involves increased data collection from hospitals and clinics, with real-time reporting to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases. Health officials will use advanced analytics to track outbreaks and respond quickly. The move follows a rise in reported cases of these diseases during the past year.
Singapore has been strengthening its public health infrastructure in response to global health challenges. The government has invested in digital health tools and improved coordination between healthcare providers. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance disease prevention and control. The surveillance will be reviewed annually to assess effectiveness and adjust strategies as needed.
