A new project is being launched in Kyrgyzstan aimed at creating a geoinformation system for accounting and monitoring cases of anthrax, known as GIS 'SUMO'. This initiative is led by the veterinary service for livestock development, pastures, and feed under the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry.
The main goal of the project is to improve epizootic surveillance and ensure rapid response to potential threats of the spread of particularly dangerous infections among animals. Additionally, it will contribute to the further digitization of the veterinary sector in the country.
The development of this system is being carried out by the state institution "AgroSmart," which is subordinate to the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, GIS 'SUMO' is a modern web application that allows for the creation of a unified tool for visualizing, accounting, monitoring, and analytical processing of data on the veterinary and sanitary situation in the country.
The project includes the following key elements:
•
the creation of an interactive map displaying anthrax outbreaks, locations for the disposal of biological waste, and elements of veterinary infrastructure;
•
the implementation of a system for accounting veterinary and sanitary measures;
•
the formation of a centralized database for analytics, reporting, and management decision-making;
•
automatic notification of responsible services upon the registration of new disease outbreaks;
•
integration with state information systems of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The implementation of GIS 'SUMO' will ensure transparency in veterinary processes, enhance the effectiveness of preventive measures, and strengthen biological safety in the country.
This innovation will be a significant step in the development of digital tools for public administration in the field of veterinary medicine and will provide a modern level of monitoring the epizootic situation in the Kyrgyz Republic.
