Public health surveillance systems showed substantial improvements following policy interventions, particularly in urban settings. Further tailored strategies should be implemented to enhance system adoption in underserved rural areas. public health surveillance, DiD model, Tanzania, policy intervention Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
