Abstract: The PMI Measure Malaria (PMM) project is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI). Its main objective is to support the strengthening of the routine health information system (RHIS) and malaria surveillance, monitoring and evaluation (SME) in the 12 USAID-supported regions of Madagascar. Since 2021, the Ministry of Public Health (MSANP), conscious of the contributions of the private health sector in the provision of services, developed strategies for the integration of its data in the national health information system (NHIS) which runs on the District Health Information Software, version 2 (DHIS2) platform.
Building on the lessons learned from and successes of USAID’s MEASURE Evaluation project in scaling up web-based models and approaches to health information, PMM improves access to comprehensive health information through the integration of hospital, community, and private health data. The project’s aim is to ensure that health service managers and healthcare providers can make appropriate decisions according to the health situation in the country. This brief shares more on this work in Madagascar.
