Key Highlights of the July 2024 Report                                                                                                         

Our July 2024 morbidity report offers valuable insights from a comprehensive dataset covering 11,200+ patients across 961 locations. Here are some of the critical findings:


  • High-Prevalence Health Conditions:

    • Respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions emerged as the most common health concerns.                                                                      
    • Top Diagnoses: Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTIs) and Gastritis were the most frequently reported conditions, underscoring the need for specialized care in these areas.


        • Gender-Based Health Trends:

          • The data reveals notable gender differences in disease prevalence, offering insights to tailor health interventions for specific groups.                                                                                                                                                                                                     
          • Men and Women Affected Differently: Gender-based insights show variations in respiratory and gastrointestinal conditions, highlighting the importance of designing gender-sensitive healthcare strategies.


            • Regional Disease Concentrations:

              • Communities like Kibra and Kawangware reported particularly high numbers of respiratory cases, suggesting a strong need for targeted respiratory health initiatives.                                                                                                         
              • This geographic data is invaluable for identifying health service gaps, enabling healthcare providers to address the most urgent needs in these high-incidence areas


                Why This Report Matters for Public Health




                Our morbidity data report is an essential resource for healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders. It not only identifies prevalent health conditions but also supports strategic health planning and resource allocation.


                • Targeted Health Interventions:                                                                                                                                                                               
                  • With clear data on disease trends, healthcare providers can focus on communities and groups most at risk.                                                                      
                  • This report serves as a roadmap for deploying resources where they are needed most, from respiratory care in Kibra to gender-sensitive health programs in diverse areas.                                                                                                         
                • Implications for Community Health:                                                                                                                                             
                  • Understanding health trends and disease concentrations allows Sibia Africa to align our efforts with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those targeting health, gender equality, and reduced inequalities.
