There are several reasons why delayed reporting happens:
Healthcare Infrastructure: Limited resources, lack of trained personnel, and inadequate systems can contribute to delays. Bureaucratic Procedures: Complex administrative processes and paperwork can slow down the reporting. Technical Issues: Problems with data collection systems, such as software glitches or lack of internet access, can cause delays. Human Factors: Incomplete information, miscommunication, or negligence by healthcare providers can also lead to delays. Geographical Barriers: Remote or rural areas might face additional challenges in timely reporting due to physical distance and transportation issues.
