Can the system keep testing and treating through a surge? This page reads real malaria commodity data from the CAR health warehouse — RDT stock, stock-outs, and antimalarials dispensed — and flags where supply can't meet the burden. Dec 2025.

01Verdict

Can supply absorb the next surge?

7 districts are stocking out on RDTs during an active surge.
National RDT stockpile covers 11.9 weeks at the current consumption rate. Beds / ORS / antibiotics await eLMIS integration.

What a demand-forecasting model would show

Real forecast + real stock in, illustrative model logic out — this section previews a planned model, not a shipped one.

ILLUSTRATIVE MODEL PREVIEW
Next month's per-district case forecast and today's RDT/ACT-AL stock are real. The step in between — converting forecasted cases into commodity demand — uses a flat national ratio as a stand-in for the real model CI-EWS plans to build. Do not use these gap numbers for procurement decisions yet.
