Achieving comprehensive geographic coverage involves several steps:
Data Collection: Gathering data from multiple sources, including hospitals, clinics, and public health records, ensures diverse and representative information. Mapping Techniques: Using geographical information systems (GIS) to visualize and analyze spatial data helps in identifying patterns and clusters of diseases. Sampling Methods: Employing random or stratified sampling methods to avoid bias and ensure all regions are proportionately represented. Collaboration: Working with local health authorities and international organizations to gather data from different regions and countries.
