Foreword
This bulletin provides a weekly overview of the outbreaks occurring in Zimbabwe. It includes disaggregating data down to provincial and district levels, so as to inform and improve the continuing public health response by the various partners. It also provides guidance to agencies on issues relating to data collection, analysis and interpretation, and suggests operational strategies on the basis of epidemiological patterns so far. The bulletin is published weekly. Note that the epidemiological week runs from Monday to Sunday. This edition covers week 44 (week ending 1 November 2009).
