Implementing the routine immunisation data module and dashboard of DHIS2 in Nigeria, 2014–2019
In 2010, Nigeria adopted the use of web-based software District Health Information System, V.2 (DHIS2) as the platform for the National Health Management Information System. The platform supports real-time data reporting and promotes government ownership and accountability.

Prevalence of malaria parasitemia and accuracy of microscopic diagnosis in Haiti, October 1995

The rate was lowest among 1- to 4-year-old children (1.6%) and highest among persons aged 15 and older (5.5%). Clinical and microscopic diagnos…
