Identifying coverage gaps involves a combination of data collection, analysis, and community engagement. Key methods include:
Surveillance data: Analyzing disease surveillance data can help identify areas or populations with high disease burden but low intervention coverage. Mapping: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to visualize and identify regions with inadequate healthcare coverage. Surveys: Conducting household surveys and community assessments can provide insights into barriers to healthcare access. Community engagement: Engaging with local communities can help identify cultural and social factors contributing to coverage gaps.
