Form, data collection, analysis and action- health monitoring and early detection mechanism of health threats
WHO/T. Trenchard
Malaria transmission levels vary across Mozambique, with the prevalence of the malaria parasite in children ranging from under 15% in the southern regions to 60% in the central and northern regions. For the Government of Mozambique and partners to effectively prevent, treat and control malaria transmission, they must first obtain baseline data for each district, including how many people are at risk and where they live. In a process that began in 2015 and continues today, a census worker collects important data from citizens. That information is fed into the national statistical system to inform critical choices under the National Malaria Control Programme, such as which services to offer where, and for whom.
