The New Mexico Emerging Infections Program (NMEIP) is one of 10 sites collaborating with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to monitor emerging infections for surveillance, prevention and disease control purposes.
The national EIP network, launched in 1995, conducts active, population-based surveillance of laboratory-confirmed cases of reportable infectious diseases. The CDC uses data collected by the network to help inform the development and evaluation of public health policy and recommendations.
NMEIP is a collaboration between the New Mexico Department of Health and The University of New Mexico. Personnel work closely with hospitals and laboratories throughout the state and along the New Mexico-Texas border.
