Key Highlights during this epi-week 21

  1. 71% (233 out of 328) of health facilities submitted their weekly surveillance summary reports. This has increased from 69% for epi-week 20. This is below the expected completeness rate of 80%. The decline in reporting completeness is attributed to interruption of the reporting system during the IDSR tracker migration to DHIS2 which is currently in the process.
