contents <p>Public health surveillance systems in Tanzania are essential for monitoring infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis.

Uncertainty estimates will be provided via 95% confidence intervals. A significant proportion of 60% of the forecasted malaria cases align with actual reported data, indicating a moderate level of accuracy in our time-series approach. Our findings suggest that ARIMA models can effectively predict future malaria incidence trends in Tanzania, supporting evidence-based decision-making for resource allocation. Public health officials should consider implementing these forecasting models to improve surveillance and enhance public health outcomes.
