Infectious diseases such as dengue fever (DHF), tuberculosis (TB), and new emerging or re- emerging diseases pose a serious threat to public health (MOH, 2024) . At the local level, such as in Serang District, weaknesses in the surveillance system can hinder the control of infectious diseases that have dynamic patterns of spread. The findings in the field are (a) the high incidence of infectious diseases which are still a serious challenge for the community. Diseases such as dengue, tuberculosis, and diarrhea continue to show incidence patterns that require special attention.
