Enhanced Disease Surveillance: Educated communities are more likely to participate in disease surveillance programs and report symptoms, aiding in early detection and response. 3. Empowerment: Education empowers individuals to take control of their health, advocate for better healthcare services, and contribute to community health initiatives.
