Methodological Evaluation of Public Health Surveillance Systems Adoption Rates in Nigeria Using Panel Data Analysis

Public health surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring disease outbreaks and managing public health emergencies in Nigeria. A panel data analysis was conducted to estimate adoption rates using a fixed effects model. The dataset includes surveys from various Nigerian states over five years. The estimated adoption rate for public health surveillance systems in the North-Central region is 75%, with robust standard errors indicating the margin of error around this estimate. Public health surveillance systems are widely adopted in some regions but vary significantly across different states in Nigeria. Investment and policy support should be directed towards underperforming regions to enhance system effectiveness. public health, surveillance systems, adoption rates, panel data analysis, Nigeria Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
