Article Synopsis
- - Ethiopia has made significant advances in using the District Health Information System version 2 (DHIS2) for national data reporting, but there hasn't been a thorough evaluation of its maturity level yet.
- - The study aims to analyze the current maturity of DHIS2 implementation in Ethiopia, identify gaps, and provide a roadmap for improvement, focusing on areas like governance, skilled workforce, ICT infrastructure, and data quality.
- - Findings reveal that DHIS2 is currently at the "defined" maturity stage with a score of 2.81, aiming to reach the "managed" stage by 2025, while strengths include a standardized process and a strategic plan, though challenges remain in workforce competency.
Spatiotemporal distribution of climate-sensitive disease incidences in ethiopia: a longitudinal retrospective analysis of Malaria, Meningitis, Cholera, Dysentery, Leishmaniasis and Dengue fever between 2010 and 2022/2023.

Background: Understanding the temporal and geographic distribution of disease incidences is crucial for effective public health planning and intervention strategies. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the spatiotemporal distribution of disease incidences in Ethiopia, focusing on six major diseases: Malaria, Meningitis, Cholera and Dysentery, over the period from 2010 to 2022, whereas Dengue Fever and Leishmaniasis from 2018 to 2023.
Methods: Using data from Ethiopian public health institute: public health emergency management (PHEM), and Ministry of Health, we examined the occurrence and spread of each disease across different regions of Ethiopia.
A health information system has been created to gather, aggregate, analyze, interpret, and utilize data collected from diverse sources. In Ethiopia, the most popular digital tools are the Electronic Community Health Information System and the District Health Information System. However, these systems lack capabilities like real-time interactive visualization and a data-driven engine for evidence-based insights.

October 2023
Context: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia, yet long-term (5- and 10-year) recurrence rates after curative surgery have been unclear.
Objective: To perform the first systematic review and meta-analysis investigating the long-term recurrence rates of sporadic PHPT after successful parathyroidectomy.
Methods: A comprehensive search of multiple databases (including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, EBSCO-CINHAL, EMBASE, Ovid, Scopus, and Google Scholar) was performed from each database's inception to January 18, 2023.
