Public health surveillance provides quantitative information required for determining

priorities and making rational health policy. The importance of surveillance to population health

is the need to learn about continuous patterns of disease incidence, as well as, the possibility of

diseases within a particular population so that health experts and other stakeholders can be

effective and efficient in investigating, preventing and controlling diseases within that

population.
