Surveillance staff are vital to the success of surveillance of infectious diseases. In this study, we interviewed staff of the Communicable Diseases Surveillance System (CDSS) in Khartoum state individually and in focus groups to assess their views about the quality of the system for the years 2005-07. The quality of CDSS was considered poor because the system was not representative as it included neither the private nor military sectors nor the important teaching hospitals. It also lacked timeliness due to poor documentation, was inflexible since it did not rapidly respond to emerging and re-emerging diseases such as SARS and avian flu in its notification lists, and it did not use the data collected to apply interventions for control and prevention of communicable diseases on a routine basis. While staff were committed to the surveillance system and felt they worked hard, they were also demotivated and in the long run this might affect their performance.
监测人员对于传染病监测的成功至关重要。在这项研究中，我们对喀土穆州传染病监测系统（CDSS）的工作人员进行了个别访谈和焦点小组访谈，以评估他们对 2005-07 年该系统质量的看法。由于该系统不具有代表性，既没有包括私营和军事部门，也没有包括重要的教学医院，因此被认为质量较差。由于文件记录不良，该系统缺乏及时性；由于在通知清单中没有迅速应对新出现和再现的疾病，例如 SARS 和禽流感，因此缺乏灵活性；由于没有利用收集的数据对传染病的控制和预防进行常规干预，因此也缺乏灵活性。尽管工作人员致力于监测系统，并认为自己工作努力，但他们也感到灰心丧气，从长远来看，这可能会影响他们的工作表现。
