Addressing underreporting requires a multifaceted approach:
Improving healthcare infrastructure: Investing in healthcare facilities and training healthcare professionals can enhance diagnosis and treatment capabilities. Raising awareness: Public education campaigns can reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek medical attention. Enhancing data collection systems: Implementing robust record-keeping and reporting systems can ensure more accurate data. Providing financial support: Subsidizing the cost of diagnostic tests and treatments can make healthcare more accessible. Implementing policy interventions: Governments can enact policies that mandate reporting and improve surveillance mechanisms.
