Routine monitoring is crucial for several reasons:
Early Detection: It helps in the early detection of disease outbreaks, enabling timely interventions to prevent widespread transmission. Trend Analysis: Monitoring allows for the analysis of disease trends over time, facilitating the identification of emerging health issues. Resource Allocation: It provides data necessary for the optimal allocation of healthcare resources, ensuring they are directed where most needed. Policy Formulation: Data from routine monitoring is critical in the development and evaluation of public health policies.
