PATH serves as the primary web-based interface for submitting, visualizing, and accessing critical epidemiological data related to infectious disease outbreaks. It enables public health units, field epidemiologists, and research partners to contribute surveillance findings and access aggregated, anonymized disease incidence maps and trend reports directly through a browser, facilitating rapid situational awareness and response coordination across diverse geographic regions.
