Understanding the health burden of diseases is essential for several reasons:
Resource Allocation: It helps policymakers and healthcare providers allocate resources more effectively, ensuring that the most significant health problems receive the most attention and funding. Public Health Planning: It informs the development of public health strategies and interventions aimed at reducing the burden of disease. Health Policy: It provides evidence for the creation of health policies that aim to improve overall population health. Monitoring and Evaluation: It allows for the monitoring of disease trends over time and the evaluation of the effectiveness of public health interventions.
