Using toolkits to strengthen population health surveillance during COVID-19
Health systems worldwide weakened during the COVID-19 pandemic. With weakened health systems, it is difficult to monitor population health and wellbeing.

While gender is not a specific focus of the tool, collecting demographic information is important for monitoring the wellbeing of a population.
