Abstract: The growing threat of disease outbreaks has emphasized the need for effective outbreak response planning. Outbreak response refers to the collective measures aimed at reducing both case numbers and fatality rates. In Kenya, outbreak response efforts have largely been reactive rather than proactive. Counties, as the frontline in detecting disease outbreaks, often lack the necessary resources and preparedness to manage them effectively. Despite its critical role, planning for disease outbreak response has not been given sufficient attention, with limited resources allocated to surveillance systems. This study sought to address this gap by investigating the role of surveillance in.......
