A digital health solution for parasitological surveillance at Anti-Malaria Campaign, Sri Lanka

The Anti Malaria Campaign in Sri Lanka is a public health initiative aimed at preventing and controlling the spread of malaria in the country. The outcome of the malaria control program is improved by effective surveillance. The National Malaria Strategic Plan highlights the lack of a web-based surveillance system for malaria as a weakness in the central-level availability of malaria parasitological surveillance data. DHIS2 (District Health Information Software 2) is a global-good, health management information system recommended by WHO. Creating a malaria information system based on DHIS2 and incorporating an interactive dashboard are employed to enhance the prompt accessibility of data at the national level.
