Despite its importance, disease monitoring faces several challenges:
1. Data Quality: The accuracy and completeness of data can be compromised due to underreporting or misdiagnosis. 2. Timeliness: Delays in data reporting can hinder the timely detection of outbreaks. 3. Resource Constraints: Limited financial and human resources can affect the efficiency of monitoring systems. 4. Data Integration: Integrating data from various sources can be complex and requires robust information systems.
