Fig. 4. Major barriers and future priorities for pathogen genomic surveillance across 13 countries.

Median Likert scores (1–5) and interquartile ranges (IQR) are displayed, with scores for major barriers ranging from 1 (not a barrier) to 5 (always a barrier), and future priorities from 1 (not a priority) to 5 (essential). Median Likert score is displayed by a dot, and IQR by a grey bar, where the lowest and highest of the grey bar marks the 25th and 75th percentile, respectively (*includes availability, lead time and expiry date on arrival; **includes electricity and internet connection; ***includes transportation time and quality; ****includes data processing, quality assurance and storage).
