contents <p>Public health surveillance systems are crucial for monitoring and controlling diseases in Ghana. A difference-in-differences model will be applied to measure efficiency gains by comparing pre- and post-intervention periods with control groups. The DID analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in the number of notifiable diseases reported, suggesting improved surveillance effectiveness. DID models effectively highlight improvements in public health surveillance systems over time. Continued monitoring and potential system enhancements are recommended based on findings. Public Health Surveillance, Difference-in-Differences, Efficiency Gains, Ghana Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.</p>
