Editorial

Dear colleagues, Two very timely case studies have just been published by the German Health Practice Collection: The first presents a shining example of a Nigerian-German cooperation on the development (and a Nigerian-Ghanaian-German European cooperation on the deployment) of something that is now high on most governments' political agendas: A digital tool for infectious disease surveillance and outbreak management. One of the many lessons the current pandemic teaches us is the relevance of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). The second case study reveals surprising insights into the factors that rendered German support to UHC reforms in India and Indonesia a success. Enjoy the reading, stay healthy and keep your optimism! Maja Opua & Anna von Roenne Current news topics A software for disease surveillance and outbreak response The SORMAS (Surveillance, Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System) software, an initiative of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in cooperation with Nigeria‘s Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), grew directly out of the experience of tackling Ebola in Nigeria. This case study aims to answer the question: ‘How does SORMAS improve countries' outbreak management and digital health ecosystems?'. More Trusted partners for Universal Health Coverage German Development Cooperation (GDC) has accompanied India's and Indonesia's efforts to reach UHC since the beginning of their endeavours in this direction. This case study retraces key moments, successes and challenges experienced by the GDC teams supporting the two countries' UHC reforms and seeks to generate insights into how technical cooperation can position itself and what it can deliver to effectively support large-scale, long-term social health protection reforms in partner countries.
