ProMED was created in 1994 as a surveillance network to provide early warning of emerging and re-emerging infections [11] . ProMED collates information from various sources that include media reports, official reports, local observers, and a network of clinicians throughout the world.

ProMED now provides free email based reports on outbreaks to over 70,000 subscribers in at least 185 countries.
