Comprehensive exploratory data analysis and dashboard visualization of disease outbreaks across Africa, focusing on regional patterns, top diseases, patient outcomes, mortality/recovery rates, and demographic vulnerabilities. Project Name : # Africa Disease Outbreak Analysis Dashboard **Health Sector Insights Across African Regions** Data Analysis & Visualization Project **Author:** Gbenovie Obhoo **Location:** Rivers State, Nigeria **Contact:** gbenovieobhoo@gmail.com ## Project Overview Comprehensive exploratory data analysis and dashboard visualization of **disease outbreaks across Africa**, focusing on regional patterns, top diseases, patient outcomes, mortality/recovery rates, and demographic vulnerabilities. Despite challenges with data sourcing (health data protection policies) and dataset inconsistencies, rigorous cleaning in **Excel + Python** enabled meaningful insights. ## Key Questions Explored - Which region has the highest number of outbreaks? - Which countries are the major hotspots? - Which disease affects the most patients? - What are the recovery & mortality rates? - Which disease shows the best recovery performance? - Which age group is most vulnerable? ## Major Findings & Insights ### Regional & Country Hotspots Eastern Africa records the **highest outbreak volume**, followed by Northern and Western regions. **Top 5 Countries by Outbreaks:** - Morocco (North) → 2,591 - Ghana (West) → 2,526 - Uganda (East) → 2,519 - Kenya (East) → 2,511 - Egypt (North) → 2,483 Here are some representative visualizations of disease distribution and risk across African regions: ### Dominant Disease: Malaria **Malaria** is by far the most prevalent disease with **over 3,000+ cases** recorded — yet it also shows the **highest recovery rate**. This highlights the effectiveness of current malaria treatment and care programs across the continent. Example dashboard-style view of malaria-related metrics: ### Patient Outcomes - **High overall recovery rate** across Africa - Majority of admitted patients still under treatment - Deaths remain relatively low ( ## Executive Summary & Recommendations - **Prioritize mortality risk**, not just case volume → West & North Africa …
