PRIORITY HEALTH PROBLEMScomparable reporting

• Standard definitions and Standardized

recording for each problem

• Coding system –

special 3 digit code withprovision for a fourth digit after a dot

– E.g 101.1 for diarrhoea with some dehydration

and 101.2 for diarrhoea with severedehydration,while, 102 for dysentry and 103 for

acute respiratory infections
