Therefore, in the case of Rufunsa District, training and retraining of health workers in IDSR, and disease reporting were the factors that needed to be prioritised at all management levels unlike leaving it to the Provincial Health Office that mostly provided training to about 21.2% of the respondents in the present study.…”

However, seven studies did not specify any particular disease in the assessment [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The reviewed studies covered a combination of surveillance functions with 24 focusing on core functions, 22 on support functions and 18 on surveillance attribute functions.…”
