Recent developments remind us that communicable diseases with their unpredictable nature and potential for local and global epidemics have not yet been relegated to history. The Surveillance System for Communicable Diseases (MSIS) is an important tool for monitoring the epidemiological situation in Norway. In 2015, forty years have passed since this national health registry was established. A modernisation of the registry will provide a better knowledge base for the efforts to prevent and deal with communicable diseases.
