In the Kyrgyz Republic, the implementation of the geographic information system "SUMO" has begun. This digital system is designed for monitoring anthrax and other particularly dangerous diseases among animals, which will allow for real-time control of the epizootic situation.
The development of this software is being carried out by the state institution "AgroSmart." The interactive map, which will serve as the foundation of the new system, will display all historical and current anthrax outbreaks, locations for the disposal of biological waste, and veterinary infrastructure facilities. This approach will enable specialists to transition from traditional paper archives to visualizing the sanitary situation in each region on a single digital platform.
In addition to tracking disease outbreaks, the functionality of the GIS "SUMO" includes automatic notifications to responsible services upon the detection of new threats and the creation of a centralized database for in-depth analysis. The project will be integrated with other state information systems, ensuring transparency in veterinary supervision. It is expected that the digitization of this sector will accelerate responses to potential disease outbreaks and significantly enhance biological safety in Kyrgyzstan.
