Accuracy: Laboratory tests provide definitive diagnoses, reducing the likelihood of misclassification. Timeliness: Rapid test results enable swift public health responses. Comprehensiveness: It allows for the collection of detailed epidemiological data, including information on pathogen subtypes and resistance patterns. Early Detection: It can identify outbreaks and emerging threats before they become widespread.
