Political hurdles in epidemiology often stem from differing priorities among government agencies and political leaders. These can include:
Partisan Politics: Political parties may have conflicting views on public health measures, leading to inconsistent policies. Funding Allocation: Political leaders may divert funds from essential public health programs to other areas, undermining disease prevention efforts. Legislative Inaction: The need for new laws and regulations to address emerging health threats can be delayed due to political gridlock.
