Disease burden studies are crucial for several reasons:
1. Resource Allocation: They help policymakers prioritize healthcare resources by identifying the most significant health challenges. 2. Health Planning: Inform strategies for prevention, treatment, and control of diseases. 3. Economic Impact: Assess the economic burden of diseases, guiding investments in healthcare infrastructure and services. 4. Monitoring Trends: Track changes in disease prevalence and incidence over time, aiding in the evaluation of public health interventions.
