Public health policies rely heavily on epidemiological data to allocate resources and design interventions. The lack of clinical detail can lead to:
Ineffective Interventions: Policies based on incomplete data may not address the root causes of public health issues. Resource Misallocation: Without precise data, resources may be allocated inefficiently, failing to target the populations in greatest need. Public Distrust: Inaccurate or ineffective policies can lead to public distrust in health authorities, complicating future public health efforts.
