Abstract

Animal bites, especially those resulting in rabies, continue to be a significant public health problem in rural and urban settings because of inadequate documentation, disjointed reporting systems, and poor access to prompt treatment. The purpose of this study is to develop and test an information management and monitoring system for animal bites to enhance documentation, surveillance, and response. This Study utilized a descriptive-developmental study design maximizing Iterative Development Model together with document analysis, key informant interviews, and system prototyping. Instrument employed were questionnaires grounded on ISO 25011: standards to evaluate the quality of the system, The Indicators of the UTAUT and purposive sampling to choose between health workers and system assessors.
