Technological Barriers: Lack of advanced tools and technologies can impede data collection and analysis. Geographic Disparities: Rural or remote areas may lack adequate surveillance infrastructure. Political and Social Factors: Political instability and social stigma can obstruct data collection efforts. Data Sharing Issues: Inconsistent data sharing policies between organizations and countries can create gaps.
