title: [Setting-up a system of health statistics collection in a rural environment in the Ivory Coast].
abstract: In order to improve the sanitary data collection system from the rural Health Centers, Ivory-Coast has modified it in acting upon the three stages of collection. At the level of rural Health Centers, it has been created, from observations and data collected in a sample of 5 centers, a new classification of diseases including 128 items allowing all male and female nurses to classify 94% of the patients examined. At intermediary level, their monthly reports are collected and checked by the chief Medical Practitioner of the Rural Health Sector, who is responsible for all medicine not pertaining to hospital centers. At central level, computerised data treatment and exploitation make possible national data spreading and back-up during the third month after the writing of their report by the nurse.
