Despite their importance, laboratory systems in epidemiology face several challenges, including:
Resource limitations: Insufficient funding, personnel, and infrastructure can hinder the effectiveness of laboratory systems. Technical complexities: The need for specialized equipment and expertise can be a barrier. Data management issues: Ensuring data quality, privacy, and interoperability can be challenging. Communication barriers: Effective information sharing between different stakeholders can be difficult. Standardization: Variability in testing methods and protocols can affect the comparability of results.
