The Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) assembles clinical, laboratory and epidemiological data on a collaborative platform to be shared with the research and humanitarian communities. The data are analysed to generate reliable evidence and innovative resources that enable research-driven responses to the major challenges of emerging and neglected infections.

Contributing Ebola data

All members of the research, health and humanitarian communities are invited to contribute data to the platform. By standardising and aggregating all available Ebola data we can address knowledge gaps in order to improve patient outcomes and outbreak response.
