Public health surveillance systems are widely adopted but vary significantly by geographical location in Ethiopia. Tailored training programmes should be developed to enhance system adoption rates among healthcare professionals in underserved areas. public health surveillance, adoption rates, quasi-experimental design, Ethiopia Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
