The Elimination Initiative regional data portal consolidates data from various sources for over 30 diseases and conditions in the Americas. This portal provides crucial information on end-point elimination indicators and targets, helping to assess the Elimination Initiative and track progress toward elimination targets at both regional and country levels. However, meeting these targets requires implementing and achieving optimal coverage of existing integrated and effective interventions for these diseases and conditions. The quality of the data can be influenced by factors such as completeness, accuracy, validity, and reliability.
