Monitoring malaria epidemics using mobile health in Mali
1. 6th MIM Panafrican Malaria Conference
Durban, SA October 6-11, 2013
Harnessing mHealth to monitor different epidemics within
one country: Experience from Mali
Jean-Marie NGbichi, MEAUSURE Evaluation / ICF International
2. Background
Malaria is one of the major causes
of morbidity and mortality in Mali
Difference transmission zones due
to the variation in climate
Many internally displaced persons
due to recent political events
National RHIS don’t fully address
malaria control needs
-
Not all key malaria indicators
Low timeliness, completeness, low
quality of data
Data only available on annually
3. Objectives
Update the data collection form
Build capacity to collect and
analyze data
Introduce innovative technologies
(mobile phone , internet)
Improve timeliness and
completeness of reporting
4. Location of the Pilot Districts
Region of Mopti
Mopti district
Bandiagara district
Region of Ségou
Niono district
Macina district
5. Methods
Develop the core paper form
Develop the core application
Provide equipment
-
Mobile phones
Cell phone network
Server from Ministry of Health
Train health workers
Collect and process data
Supervise

-

13. Data use
Data use at district level
-
Data available at monthly basis
Help to monitor malaria core routine indicators
at district level
Help to discuss malaria control issues during
quarterly meetings: reporting gaps, data quality,
indicators trends …
decisions to improve malaria activities
Data use at central level
-
MOH (NMCP/ANTIM) is developing a bulletin
using data generated by the system
‘‘Mobile Info’’ is used for advocacy and decision
making

15. Challenges
Need further improvement in data quality
-
Maintain field supervision visits
Have periodic data quality assessment
•
•
quality control from registers to
monthly data collection form
from monthly data collection form to
central level data (server)
Data use at district, central levels
-
Notable progress
Needs to be reinforced
16. Way Forward
Strengthen the process in pilot
districts
-
Increase completeness of reporting
Improve analysis program to allow customized
analysis
-
Strengthen data use at district ,
central levels
Promote culture of data use through
technical support including training
17. Way Forward (2)
Ensure progressive scale up of mreporting
-
Progressive nationwide scale up: MOH (ANTIM)
intranet underway (involved other partners: UNFPA,
Red Cross …)
Explore feasibility of mreporting at
community level
Help tracking the efforts of community health workers
and improve CBIS.
18. Conclusion
Mobile reporting system set with MEASURE Evaluation assistance
in Mali improve timeliness, completeness and quality of data
The process became a reference within the health system in terms of
data production using new technologies:
-
While still improving, it already serves for data reporting needs in other health
areas.
-
Appropriate for local environment marked by turnover of health workers
-
Affordable: development of the application, follow up, and recurrent operational
costs
-
System rung despite the crisis situation
Continues giving real time pictures of core malaria indicators
needed to inform decision making

Reports writing by MOH counterparts (central, regional, district levels) still remains a challenge to overcome by continuous technical support to partners
Data collected should serve to write sound reports providing relevant information to guide decision making at central, district and even facilities levels Reports writing by MOH counterparts (central, regional, district levels) still remains a challenge to overcome by continuous technical support to partner
