Abstract: |
This dataset consists of about 80 laboratory tests that the Kenyan Ministry of Health requires laboratories to submit in DHIS2 every month. The dataset was therefore retrieved from DHIS2 after identifying the 204 hospitals based on set criteria. We used these laboratory reports submitted by 204 hospitals between January 2018 and Dec 2019. We complemented the dataset by adding the number of beds in each hospital. Data on the number of beds were obtained from the Kenya Master health facility List. We examined the reporting patterns of these tests and further compared them to the World Health Organization’s Essential Diagnostic List. Also, we investigated the testing scopes of these laboratories based on the inpatient bed capacity. |
