◦Vector mosquitoes Anopheles culicifacies Anopheles subpictus Anopheles annularis

Limitations of the information systemUnder-reporting
◦Proportion reported is much less than actual incidence
Timeliness of data◦Delayed reporting does not facilitate use of data◦Lack of interest & unawareness◦ Intervening in the right time
Accuracy of dataSystem overburden
◦with several forms containing same dataAbsence of criteria

Strengths of current system Coverage
◦ Widespread, decentralized system◦ Covers a vast population
Timeliness – Minimizing delay◦ Spontaneous reporting◦ Rapid intervening through regional medical officers◦ Prompt diagnosis & reporting
Completeness Follow-ups
◦ Ensure completion of treatment Usefulness
◦ Useful for trend analysis◦ Basis for implementation of control measures
Financial assistance◦ Funded by Global Fund for TB & Malaria
