Is anything worse than usual in DBS right now?

Too few cases here this week to compare any illness with its usual.

How this is worked out. The last four weeks against the same four weeks of the two years before, for this district alone. Illnesses with fewer than 5 cases a week here are left out: too few to compare.

What makes the most people ill here?

Non-cholera diarrhoea and malaria: 69 of every 100 reports here this year.

  • Non-cholera diarrhoea37 in 100
  • Malaria32 in 100
  • Flu-like illness13 in 100
  • Pneumonia in under-fives11 in 100
  • Typhoid4 in 100
  • 1 others3 in 100

254 reports from DBS so far in 2026.

Which illnesses are coming into season here?

Too few weeks of reports, or too few cases, to show a season in DBS yet.

How does DBS compare with the rest of Pakistan?

Too few cases in DBS to place it among Pakistan's districts this week.

Why each district against itself. A large district always has more cases than a small one. Each dot is a district against its own usual, so size drops out.

Can we trust this week's numbers for DBS?

Yes, for this week. DBS sent figures in 1 of the last 52 weekly reports.

Weekly reports with figures from DBS, most recent last

A reported case means someone reached a clinic and a form was filed, so these count reports, not everyone who was ill.
