Data Quality: Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to misleading conclusions. Privacy Concerns: Protecting patient confidentiality while sharing data is a significant issue. Geographic Variability: Differences in healthcare infrastructure and reporting practices across regions can affect data consistency. Resource Limitations: Limited resources in low-income areas can hinder comprehensive data collection and analysis.
