Malaria Incidence by District
URL: (Login Required) Click to Access
Comprehensive malaria incidence data covering all 30 districts of Rwanda. Contains 30 records showing absolute malaria cases and standardized incidence rates per 1000 population, enabling analysis of geographic variations in malaria disease burden and epidemiological patterns across the country.
Data structure includes: - District-level geographic disaggregation (30 districts across 5 provinces) - Absolute malaria case counts by district - Standardized incidence rates per 1000 population - Population-adjusted disease burden indicators - Geographic risk assessment and epidemiological surveillance data

| Dimensions | - Geographic level (National, District) - Administrative units (30 Districts across 5 Provinces) - Case classification (Confirmed malaria cases, Clinical malaria cases) - Age groups (Under-5 children, 5+ years, All ages) - Seasonality (Rainy season, Dry season, Annual totals) - Transmission zones (High transmission, Moderate transmission, Low transmission) - Case detection (Passive case detection, Active case detection) - Diagnostic method (Microscopy confirmed, RDT confirmed, Clinical diagnosis) |
| Indicator Code | RW-HSI-MORB-MAL-001 |
| Indicator Unit | Cases per 1000 population per year |
| Methodology | Data collected through comprehensive malaria surveillance system with district-level disaggregation: CASE DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION: - Confirmed malaria cases: Laboratory-confirmed (microscopy or RDT) malaria infection - Clinical malaria cases: Clinically diagnosed malaria without laboratory confirmation - Case classification aligned with WHO malaria surveillance guidelines - Standardized case definitions across all health facilities and districts MALARIA SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM: - Passive case detection through health facility-based surveillance - Active case detection in high-risk areas and outbreak investigation - Community case management through community health workers - Laboratory confirmation using microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) - Weekly epidemiological surveillance reporting from health facilities DATA COLLECTION AND AGGREGATION: - Weekly malaria case reporting from all health facilities - District health office consolidation and validation - Monthly district surveillance reports to national level - Cross-validation between HMIS and malaria surveillance databases - Population denominators from national census and projections INCIDENCE RATE CALCULATION: - Incidence rate = (Total malaria cases / District population) × 1000 - Population denominators based on latest census data and annual projections - Age-specific and overall population incidence rates calculated - Seasonal and annual incidence patterns analyzed - Geographic risk stratification based on incidence levels QUALITY ASSURANCE: - Weekly surveillance data validation at district level - Monthly cross-checks between different surveillance systems - Annual surveillance system evaluation and data quality assessment - Laboratory quality control for diagnostic confirmation - Training and supervision of surveillance focal points |
