Malaria Economic Burden Per Capita by Cost Components, 2019

Monica Viegas Andrade published this 9.5 KB dataset quantifying the per capita economic burden of malaria from both public health system and household perspectives. The data is structured by cost components and uses 2024 Purchasing Power Parity-adjusted US dollars for the year 2019. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Compare public health system versus household expenditure on malaria based on the described cost perspectives.
• Analyze the composition of malaria-related economic burden based on the described cost components.
• Model the per capita financial impact of malaria for policy planning based on the described economic burden data.

Strengths

• Data is licensed under the permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The dataset uses a standardized currency unit (PPP-USD 2024) for cross-country comparability.
• The description clearly defines the study year (2019) and the two analytical perspectives (public health system and household).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, suggesting limited scope or detail.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
