CHISU recently participated in a follow-up supportive supervision visit on malaria data quality at health facilities in Ghana’s Sefwi Akontombra district. The CHISU team joined the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative’s (PMI) Data Specialist and the Regional Malaria Focal Person for the Western North region on this trip. The visit aimed to verify the number of severe malaria cases and investigate the reasons for some facilities not reporting malaria supplies use. The CHISU team coached health staff at the facilities on data capture practices and encouraged regular monitoring of the data captured in the consulting room register. Additionally, the team discussed strategies to improve the reporting of malaria consumables data with the management of the Sefwi Akontombra District Health Directorate and Akontombra Government Hospital.
