CSU 63/2009: MALARIA   DATA/PUBLICATIONS ON EQUITY IN HEALTH
  
  1)  USE OF HEALTH FACILITY DATA FOR ASSESSING IMPACT
  
  Writing in the Malaria Journal, Rowe and colleagues explore the
  methodological problems surrounding use of health facility data to gauge
  the impact of malaria control interventions.
  
  Am I correct in believing that are no internationally agreed criteria
  for malaria surveillance of the kind used in AFP and measles
  surveillance? Such standards as the ABER (annual blood examination rate)
  enshrined, for example, in Pampana's Textbook of Malaria Eradication
  fell into disuse decades ago, and have not, to my knowledge, been
  replaced.

  2)  EQUINET WEB PUBLICATIONS
  
  Subsaharan Africa has three health financing problems: declining
  external financing for health, low internal financing (with a few
  exceptions like Zambia, Namibia and Botswana), and inequitable
  distribution of resources within countries. Equinet, an affiliate of
  SADC, has published several papers on this subject on the Internet.
  Those interested should consult them at

  Good reading.
