Reply To: Malaria Surveillance System (Thailand) _ WAH WAH LWIN

[Wah Wah Lwin]

Hi Hteik Htar! thank you for your comments and questions. For VHV, yes, they are trained for malaria surveillance (both passive and active case detection) and they are already volunteering for their community. Similarly, for refugees and migrants along Thai-Myanmar borders, including refugees camps, there will be camp-based workers/migrant workers who are trained for malaria surveillance, including using mobile app. for case records and reporting. At the community level, they will be reporting the cases via mobile app (paper-based in case where there are limited resources). For eMIS, responsible implementing partners/government levels will be keying-in for synchronization.
For usability and adaptability indicators, frequency of data collection is suggested for annual basis, since the calculation is based on semi-structured interviews/survey and time analysis. So, it’s worth to access the system quality with annual basis to get feedback and insights from the users/respondents.
