Background: Diarrhoea prevalence in 2023 in Magetan Regency was reported for all age groups at 59.4% and for children under five at 96.5%. The preliminary study found several problems in the recording and reporting system of diarrhoea in the Magetan Regency. Objective: To describe the quality of the diarrhoea surveillance system implemented in Magetan Regency Health Office based on surveillance system attributes assessment. Methods: Descriptive research with evaluation study design. An evaluation was conducted on the diarrhoea surveillance system in 2023 in the Magetan Regency Health Office. The respondents of this study were 23 people. Data was collected using questionnaires through Google Forms, interviews, and document studies. Data analysis was carried out descriptively presented in the form of tables and narratives. Results: Evaluation of the diarrhoea surveillance system based on the assessment of surveillance attributes shows that the diarrhoea surveillance system in Magetan Regency is simple, flexible, high data quality, sensitive, high acceptability, timely, and high stability. However, the system is not representative and positive predictive value cannot be calculated. Conclusion: The implementation of the Diarrhoea surveillance system is largely well established, supported by the completeness of surveillance attributes. There is a need to improve coordination and cooperation between programme holders and surveillance officers at the Health Office and public health centre levels, improve coordination with networks to report Diarrhoea cases both manually and electronically and conduct regular meetings related to the results of Diarrhoea case reporting between programme holders and surveillance officers.
