International Circumpolar Surveillance
  • The International Circumpolar Surveillance (ICS) is a region-wide disease surveillance system led by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and was developed by the United States along with the other Arctic States including Canada.
  • ICS was established in 1999 and began by sharing data on only a select few diseases but has expanded to include several new countries, expanded the types of pathogens targeted, and has established new programs.
