Using Data Analytics to Mitigate a Growing HIV Situation in Nigeria: Evidence from Public Health Practice

Chiamaka Ifunanya Ikechi, PhD.

Abstract

HIV continues to be a burden in Nigeria, even though a lot of money has been invested in treatment and prevention. Though national incidence rates remain quite stable, disruptions to healthcare provision and prevention measures threaten to undo the progress and lead to new infections. Based on experience gained during work at Bon and Eve Health Inc., the paper explores how data analytics can be used to monitor disease prevalence, identify high-risk groups, and enhance interventions. The findings highlight the need to implement a data-driven public health strategy to tackle the resurgence of HIV cases and enhance the efficiency of the public health systems in Nigeria (National Agency for the Control of AIDS [NACA], 2023; Federal Ministry of Health [FMOH], 2021).
