Several factors contribute to resource misallocation, including:
Political Influence: Resources might be allocated based on political agendas rather than epidemiological evidence. Economic Constraints: Limited budgets can force prioritization that may not align with the most pressing public health needs. Lack of Data: Inadequate or inaccurate data can lead to poor decision-making. Inequitable Distribution: Social and economic inequalities can result in certain populations being underserved.
