This indicator measures the proportion of children under the age of five who experienced fever in the two weeks prior to the survey, providing crucial insights into the health status of young populations. Elevated rates of fever in this age group can signal underlying health issues, including infectious diseases that disproportionately affect vulnerable children. By tracking these occurrences, health organizations can
identify trends and potential outbreaks, enabling more targeted interventions and resource allocation. Moreover, this data highlights the
urgent need for accessible healthcare services and preventive measures, especially in regions with high fever prevalence, ultimately contributing to improved child health outcomes and informing public health policies.
