ARS strengthens its health surveillance and security unit
Since Wednesday, March 18 in the evening, the Mayotte Regional Health Agency has launched its enhanced health monitoring and security unit (officially called CRAPS – Regional Support and Steering Unit) to manage this exceptional health situation and curb the spread of virus on the island.
In this context, the ARS Mayotte ensures the monitoring of the epidemiological situation and the management of possible or confirmed cases, in close coordination with all stakeholders in the health system. It is also a matter of anticipating and planning the rise of the health system to cope with a possible epidemic.
In collaboration with the CHM and in the context of this health crisis, an infectious disease specialist also joined the ARS to strengthen the teams mobilized in the monitoring of patients at home.
