Introduction
Based on our survey, we identified a gap in early detection of epidemic indicators. Specifically, a significant portion of respondents reported challenges with interpreting data trends and recognizing early warning signs.To address this gap, we recommend developing targeted training modules that focus on enhancing skills in data analysis and effective use of surveillance tools. Implementing practical exercises and providing supportive resources will also help improve proficiency and confidence in these areas. Continuous feedback will be crucial for refining the training and ensuring it meets the needs of healthcare professionals effectively.
