Carol001Analyst/A-Deep-Analysis-of-the-Malaria-Disease-in-Africa-from-2007-2017

This Power BI analysis looks into the life-threatening disease, Malaria, in Africa over a 10-year period. A 10-YEAR PERIOD ANALYSIS OF MALARIA DISEASE IN AFRICA FROM 2007 TO 2017 This is a Power BI interactive visualization and analysis of the malaria disease in Africa over a 10-year period (2007 -2017). Have a look at the visualization tools used, highlights, and insights that can help mitigate this rampant problem in Africa. Methods/Tools Used: 1.    Kaggle.com was the data source of my analysis. 2.    Microsoft Power BI, an advanced statistics and analysis tool used in the business intelligence scope to drive helpful insights. 3.    Line chart, which is a graphic tool used to present time series data. In this case, malaria occurrence rates over the 10-year period. 4.    Pie chart and donut charts, which were to useful in presenting percentages of rural/urban populations and people with access to safely managed drinking water, respectively. 5.    Bar and column charts, which aided in comparison of data. As in the bar chart for the top 10 countries that led in malaria incidence rates, and the column chart for the countries with most sick children receiving antimalarial drug treatment. 6.    Choropleth map, which I used to show data organized by the top 5 African countries, where insecticide-treated bed nets are commonly in use for protection. Key Highlights/Observation 1.    Population in the rural region is 64% and 36% in the urban area, so the former is more populated. However, fewer people in the rural areas compared to the urban section have access to basic services like safely managed drinking water and proper sanitation. 2.    There was a steady increase in the reported malaria cases, from 2007 to 2017. The sum of these cases cumulatively was 588 Million cases. 3.    Additionally, the top three countries leading in malaria incidence rates (that is, per 1,000 population at risk) are: a)    Burkina Faso b)    Sierra Leone c)    Central African Republic 4.    Sierra Leone (code SLE) reported highest number of children with a fever, who were treated w …
