Several factors contribute to the occurrence of undetected safety issues:
- Lack of Surveillance: Inadequate disease surveillance systems can prevent the early detection of emerging health threats. - Underreporting: Individuals may fail to report symptoms or adverse events due to lack of awareness, fear of stigma, or mistrust in the healthcare system. - Diagnostic Challenges: Certain conditions may be difficult to diagnose, leading to underestimation of their prevalence. - Data Gaps: Insufficient data collection or analysis can result in an incomplete understanding of health risks.
