CHISU helps countries build resilient health information systems (HIS) that strengthen prevention and control of malaria outbreaks and epidemics. Malaria continues to be a major public health threat worldwide, with 249 million malaria cases in 2022. Better integrating malaria data into health information systems—and using that data to help target interventions—can help countries improve malaria program management.
