Hi Kader,

thanks for the feedback.

We will definitely work on making DHIS 2 and GIS app applicable for disease
surveillance, and extending the event clustering feature with statistical
algorithms is interesting.

Feel free to write up your use case and let us know why such a feature is
useful to you.

best regards,

Lars
