Bamako Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (Bamako HDSS)
Bamako HDSS was established in 2006 as a surveillance system in the low-income urban communities of Djicoroni Para and Banconi in Bamako, Mali. The HDSS covers 11.15 km2 and serves approximately 227,000 people. An average of two rounds of demographic data is collected annually, and a network of informants provides real-time alerts about births, deaths, and pregnancies in the community. Since 2017, the HDSS has been associated with the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network.
