Analysis Of The District Health Information System (dhis) Data Of Uasin Gishu County (2013-2017)
This study is based on the District Health Information System (DHIS) data for Uasin Gishu County. The aim is to determine relationships among various units of the data, establish trends and draw conclusions. The methods used involves graphical illustrations using ggplot2 - R statistical package and basic mathematical functions to manipulate the DS1 and DS2 data (ranging from the year 2013-2017) that was provided and the approach used involves coming up with research questions and analyzing the data to determine whether the hypothesis is true. There are four results based on the four research questions which are; pro- vision of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLITNs) to pregnant women has contributed in reducing the cases of malaria in pregnancy, attendance of Antenatal and Postnatal care visits has contributed to reduction of maternal and neonatal deaths, the trend of general diseases indicates a problem in sanitation and general hygiene and there is an increasing proportion of Tuberculosis cases caused by HIV. From the discussion, we concluded that t he county government health sector should: ensure continual provision of LLITNs to pregnant women to prevent Malaria in pregnancy, create awareness on importance of ANC and PNC visits and train medical sta to provide quality services, allocate more of its county budget to the public health sector, create awareness of proper sanitation and hygiene and also conduct public cleanups.
