The laboratory plays a major role in surveillance, including confirming the start
and end of an outbreak. Knowing the causative agent for an outbreak informs the
development of response strategies and management plans for a public health
event. However, issues and challenges may arise that limit the effectiveness or
efficiency of laboratories in surveillance. This case study applies a systematic
approach to analyse gaps in laboratory surveillance, thereby improving the
ability to mitigate these gaps. Although this case study concentrates on factors
resulting in poor feedback from the laboratory, practise of this general approach
to problem analysis will confer skills required in analysing most public health
issues. This case study was developed based on a report submitted by the district
surveillance officer in Grand Bassa County, Liberia, as a resident of the
Liberian Frontline Field Epidemiology Training Program in 2016. This case study
will serve as a training tool to reinforce lectures on surveillance problem
analysis using the fishbone approach. It is designed for public health training
in a classroom setting and can be completed within 2 hours 30 minutes.
