Public health surveillance systems are essential for monitoring disease trends in Rwanda. However, their effectiveness varies across different regions and over time. The study employs a comprehensive search strategy to identify relevant studies. Panel data analysis is utilised to estimate the effect of various factors on adoption rates over time, providing insights into system performance. A significant proportion (35%) of surveillance systems showed high variability in adopting recommended practices across different regions, with some areas showing non-compliance levels exceeding 20%. The review highlights the need for standardised methodologies and continuous improvement strategies to enhance public health surveillance system effectiveness in Rwanda. Policy makers should focus on developing uniform guidelines and increasing training programmes to ensure consistent adoption of best practices across all regions. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
