    • Report any health problem.
    • CKT and Kode Tan will assist to find the correct code
    • An SMS alert will automatically be sent to dinas officers.
    • Dinas will respond by phone and/or visit.
  • Dinas
    • Officer reports cases of illness using code from the signs code list
    • Officers also report a differential diagnosis using the codes from the Disease code list.
    • This Dinas U report means that a Response R report is not necessary.

When to use

  • For any kind of diseae?
    • U general signs report to be used for any animal health problem which does not meet any of the priority syndromes.
    • There are two different ways to report health problems found in the field: U and P.
      • P is used for all cases which match any of the described priority syndromes which require a more urgent and focussed response from personnel.
      • U is used for all other cases that do not fit the priority syndromes and which do not require priority handling.
  • What is a case?
    • A case is an incident or disorder
      • In one or more animals with the same problem.
      • In the same location (rural area, farm or community, but not necessarily the same owners)
      • At the same time or close to the same time.
    • Only need one report per disease event.
      • Do not send separate reports for each individual animal when there are animals with the same problem, in same location, at the same time.

Reporting Process

  • Pelsa report
    • A farmer noticed that one or more animals are sick.
    • Farmer reports the problem to local Pelsa
    • Pelsa visits animal and/or talks to farmer
    • Pelsa sends a U report describing major signs, number of animals affected
      • Sign codes can be found using CKT [freetext sign] and KODE TAN.
    • Dinas staff automatically notified
    • Dinas staff respond by phone or visit as soon as they are able to.
      • Priority Syndrome reports will be answered before General reports and so reponse times may differ widely.

Codes required

  • Signs - multiple signs each separated by a comma
  • Species. If multiple species are affected, use the main species
  • Location code (optional: if the reporter is reporting from a different village to the one in which he/she is registered),
  • List of possible diagnoses
    • Pelsa reports – do not include diagnoses
    • Dinas staff, include one or more possible diagnoses from the Diagnosis code list, each separated by a comma.

Response

  • SMS messages
    • A confirmation message is sent back to the sender
    • Immediate alerts are sent to veterinary technical staff responsible for that same area.
  • Response messages will include a unique case identifier. This should be used for any further reports relating to the same case (response, treatment, specimen submission etc)

Follow-up actions

Dinas veterinary staff will respond to the case

  • Initial response is by telephone
  • If possible, this is followed by a field visit to examine and treat the animals
