Public health surveillance systems should be evaluated periodically to ensure the problems of public health importance are being monitored efficiently and effectively. Despite the widespread measles outbreak in Ginnir district of Ethiopia in 2019, an evaluation of measles surveillance systems has not been conducted. Therefore, we evaluated the performance of measles surveillance systems and key attributes in Ginnir district, Southeast Ethiopia.
