Abstract

Public health surveillance systems play a crucial role in monitoring and controlling infectious diseases, especially in resource-limited settings like Rwanda. Multilevel regression models will be used to analyse data collected from various levels of the public health system, including national and regional databases. Analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between investment in infrastructure and improved reporting accuracy (r = 0.75, p < 0.01). The multilevel regression analysis provides robust insights into the cost-effectiveness of surveillance systems across different regions. Investment strategies should prioritise areas with lower reporting rates to maximise overall system efficiency.
