What We Do
The winter surge in cases of influenza, gastroenteritis, and bronchiolitis has significant health implications for the population. Monitoring epidemiological trends, issuing alerts in the event of an outbreak, and implementing preventive measures to reduce the risk of transmission are among the key responsibilities of Santé publique France.
Weekly epidemiological bulletins
As part of its surveillance, monitoring, and alert missions regarding seasonal epidemics, Santé publique France analyzes surveillance data on influenza, bronchiolitis, and acute gastroenteritis from its network of partners. The analysis of this data is published weekly during the winter in national epidemiological bulletins and regional epidemiological reports.
