Quasi-experimental study assesses disease detection rates in Senegal, suggesting improvements for reliability.
Public health surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring infectious diseases in Senegal. However, their reliability needs to be rigorously assessed. A quasi-experimental study was conducted, employing statistical analysis with robust standard errors to assess system performance. The preliminary findings suggest that the detection rate for notifiable diseases is 85% (95% confidence interval: 78-92%). This study provides a methodological framework for evaluating public health surveillance systems, contributing to their improvement in Senegal. Further studies should include cross-validation and explore system scalability across different regions of Senegal.
