About me

In my role a senior disease control officer/ M&E officer, I have personally experienced the impact of utilizing QGIS and electronic data tools like DHIS2, ODK, and Kobocollect in the management of TB, malaria, and EPI data. These tools have revolutionized the way I capture and analyze data, leading to more informed decision-making and efficient planning. Through the integration of QGIS and electronic data tools, I have been able to enhance communicable disease surveillance, allowing me to monitor and respond to possible outbreaks promptly and effectively.
