Field disease reporting is central to Indonesia's new animal health information system, iSIKHNAS where village reporters and district field veterinary staff (Dinas) report cases of disease by sending simple coded messages from their mobile phones. Reports can either be for General Signs (Tanda Umum) using the U SMS message format or reports of suspected priority diseases using the P message - Priority Syndrome report (Sindrom Prioritas). The messages sent from the field ensure that the relevant veterinary staff are alerted and the data is also immediately included in the available for analysis by decision makers at every level.
