Several challenges complicate resource allocation in epidemiology:
- Data Limitations: Insufficient or unreliable data can hinder accurate assessment of disease burden and intervention effectiveness. - Political and Social Factors: Political priorities and social dynamics can influence resource distribution, sometimes leading to inequitable allocation. - Economic Constraints: Limited funding can restrict the scope and scale of public health interventions. - Global Health Disparities: Resource allocation disparities between high-income and low-income countries can exacerbate health inequities.
