Public health surveillance systems in Uganda are crucial for monitoring infectious diseases and ensuring timely interventions. A longitudinal study employing mixed-methods approach including quantitative data analysis and qualitative interviews to assess system performance over two years. The average response time from reporting to action was reduced by 15% in the intervention group compared to baseline, with a standard error of ±3. 2 minutes (95% CI: -7. 8, 6. 2). The quasi-experimental design demonstrated efficiency gains but further research is needed to address specific system weaknesses. Enhancements in training for surveillance staff and the implementation of telemedicine solutions are recommended to improve response times. Public health, surveillance systems, efficiency gains, quasi-experimental design, Uganda Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
