Registry-based surveillance is crucial for several reasons:
Monitoring Disease Trends: It helps in tracking the incidence and prevalence of diseases over time, which is critical for identifying emerging health threats. Evaluating Interventions: It aids in assessing the effectiveness of public health interventions, treatments, and policies by providing comprehensive data. Resource Allocation: It supports health planning and resource allocation by identifying high-risk populations and areas requiring attention. Research: It serves as a valuable source of data for epidemiological research, facilitating studies on disease etiology, outcomes, and risk factors.
