We are pleased to announce the release of two new disease-specific modules for the DHIS2 Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Toolkit, designed in collaboration with global health partners to support enhanced disease surveillance, monitoring, and programmatic management:

Buruli Ulcer The DHIS2 Buruli Ulcer (BUR) module is designed to support routine collection, reporting, and analysis of Buruli ulcer data at health facility levels. Aligned with WHO guidelines, the toolkit includes a monthly aggregate dataset covering key surveillance areas, such as disease burden, case classification (reported, suspected, confirmed, relapsed), treatment completion, and referrals. With dashboards tailored to the specific clinical and surveillance needs for Buruli ulcer, this module enables countries to standardize data capture, improve visibility on disease trends, and enhance case management strategies, thus supporting the WHO 2021–2030 NTD Roadmap objectives.

Schistosomiasis The DHIS2 Schistosomiasis (SCH) module offers comprehensive tools for integrated disease management and surveillance, incorporating three monthly datasets: Surveillance, Integrated Vector Management (IVM), and Screening. This modular structure enables detailed monitoring of disease burden, diagnostic methods, species-specific cases, treatment interventions, vector presence, and community screening activities. The integrated dashboards facilitate triangulation of clinical data, vector surveillance, and environmental risk assessments, empowering health programs to better identify transmission hotspots and optimize control measures in line with WHO’s elimination goals.

This is a fantastic tool design that will help to track and isolate both vectors and treat those infected. As dangerous as this was and still is today. And someday, it will gradually be eliminated, like the Guinea worm and many other tropical diseases. As a kid who grew up in a rural area, where the only source of clean drinking water was digging up sand on the shores of a river, this disease isn’t novel to me. We thought ending your urine with blood was normal. This is breaking news to nations in the global south.
Thanks for this App
