Several challenges can complicate the monitoring of disease spread:
Underreporting: Not all cases are reported, especially in the initial stages of an outbreak. Data Delays: Time lags between data collection, reporting, and analysis can delay response efforts. Resource Constraints: Limited resources can affect the capacity to collect and analyze data. Data Privacy: Balancing the need for detailed information with individuals' privacy rights. Variability in Data Quality: Differences in data quality and availability across regions and healthcare systems.
