Details

Data are sourced from quarterly reporting spreadsheets produced via the Quarterly Integrated HIV Program Reports and publicly available from Malawi Ministry of Health: Department of HIV & AIDS website.

Data are provided by the Ministry of Health, Malawi with the following disclaimer:

  1. The data in this file are owned by the Ministry of Health (MOH), Malawi.

  2. These data are shared in order to support the National HIV Program.

  3. Data in this file may not be used by Third Parties for further analysis and dissemination without prior written approval of the Director of the Department for HIV and AIDS, MOH.

  4. Patient-level data are routinely collected by health facility staff using standard monitoring tools. This file contains facility-level aggregates that have been generated by facility staff and that were verified from primary records during quarterly National HIV Program Supervision (coordinated of the Department of HIV and AIDS). While every effort is made to ensure high data quality, individual records may not be complete and accurate.

  5. The official interpretation of these data is presented in Quarterly Integrated HIV Program Reports and any divergent interpretation may be misleading and is not supported by the MOH. Analysis and interpretation of the data requires detailed understsanding of the methods and constraints of the Malawi's National M&E System.

The number of ART by age 0-14 and age 15+ is not reported in aggregate quarterly reporting data. For model illustration purposes, this is approximated as 94% of all ART clients are age 15+ based on Spectrum model outputs which were validated against age distributions from electronic medical records by the Malawi HIV estimates team.

Dataset could contain one observation per district per quarter for all 32 districts for all quarters between Q3 2011 and Q3 2018, but the number of observations is fewer than 32 * 29 = 928 due to a few missing observations.
