Public health surveillance systems in Tanzania are critical for monitoring disease trends and responding to public health threats efficiently. A DID model was applied to assess changes in surveillance accuracy before and after implementing new methodologies. Uncertainty in findings is addressed through robust standard errors. Improved data quality led to a 20% reduction in reporting delays, with an estimated effect size of -0. 15 days per week for each additional month post-intervention (95% CI: -0. 21 to -0. 08). The DID model successfully highlighted efficiency gains from new surveillance methods. Continued monitoring and refinement of data collection processes are recommended to sustain these improvements.
