Between 2013 and 2015, the Minawao refugee camp in Cameroon received about 51000 refugees fleeing Boko Haram. A rapid increase in population and inadequate sanitary installations increase the risk of diarrheal disease. This study was performed to assess the structure and attributes of the surveillance system in Minawao.
