The main data management tool here was WHONET where we could analyze data through quick analysis for epidemiological and quality data analysis and general analysis for microbiology data. This was quite quick and easy.   When I left Public Health Institute of Malawi to join Salima District Hospital Laboratory, I found a new system when they use LIMS which was totally a different data management tool. This system was so rigid, slow and very tedious to analyze data that it was almost impossible to come up with meaningful data to give RIS data or create antibiograms. Later on we sat down with the management and discussed on the ways we could improve in our ways of presenting our data.
