A new digital system is being implemented in the country, designed for monitoring anthrax and other particularly dangerous diseases among animals. The veterinary service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Kyrgyzstan has announced the geoinformation system project "SUMO," which will allow real-time tracking of the epizootic situation across the entire territory of the republic.
The state institution "AgroSmart" is responsible for developing this software. The GIS "SUMO" will feature an interactive map displaying both historical and current anthrax outbreaks, locations for the disposal of biological waste, and veterinary infrastructure facilities. This innovation will enable specialists to abandon paper archives and visualize the sanitary condition of each region on a single digital platform.
In addition to tracking disease outbreaks, the "SUMO" system will automatically notify responsible services of new threats and create a centralized database for in-depth analysis. The project will be integrated with other state information systems, ensuring full transparency in veterinary supervision. It is expected that the digitization of this sector will not only accelerate responses to potential infection outbreaks but also significantly enhance the level of biological safety in Kyrgyzstan.
