What Are the Implications of Undetected Safety Issues?
Undetected safety issues can have serious implications for public health:
- Delayed Response: Delayed identification of health threats can hinder timely interventions and control measures. - Increased Morbidity and Mortality: Unrecognized risks can lead to higher rates of illness and death, especially in vulnerable populations. - Economic Burden: Addressing health issues after they have escalated can result in significant healthcare costs. - Loss of Public Trust: Failure to detect and address safety issues can erode public trust in health authorities and systems.
