Nicaragua

Nicaragua's Ministry of Health (MINSA) publishes a national health map, the Mapa Nacional de la Salud, with the new HIV cases recorded by epidemiological surveillance. Our project reads the national count for 2017 to 2023 from archived copies of the ministry pages. The counts for the 19 local health areas (SILAIS) enter the panel once archived copies of every area page are stored. The archived pages for 2022 cover 10 local health areas, and the archived pages for 2023 cover six.

Disbursements reported for the country. The OECD record and the United States self-reported record are drawn separately. The two records cover the same United States disbursements, but the OECD record is filed by calendar year and the self-reported record by United States fiscal year.

Data-quality flags on Nicaragua

% of people on ART who are virally suppressed (third 95), Chinandega, 2019 (PEPFAR results by province). The ratio of 200 people reported as virally suppressed to a denominator of 199 is 100.5 per cent, above 100 per cent, so the numerator and the denominator do not come from the same group of patients for Chinandega in 2019.

HIV tests performed with the result returned to the person, 2023 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 6,066 in 2022 to 38,654 in 2023, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 6,066 to 38,654 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2022 and 2023 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2022 and 2023.

Number of people on ART (PEPFAR MER TX_CURR), 2019 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 353 in 2018 to 1,747 in 2019, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 353 to 1,747 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2018 and 2019 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2018 and 2019.

People who completed a course of TB preventive therapy, 2023 (PEPFAR Panorama Spotlight). The value moved from 3,719 in 2022 to 833 in 2023, a change of more than threefold in a single year. The move from 3,719 to 833 is likely to reflect a change in which organisations funded by PEPFAR report the figures, or in the scope of the PEPFAR reporting, so the values for 2022 and 2023 are not comparable. Check the figures by reporting organisation before reading a trend across 2022 and 2023.
