a Indicators marked with stars are not MDG indicators but have been
included as proxy measures.
b SAVACG Survey. Data are for age group 6-71 months, not under 5
years.
c Food Consumption Survey. Data are for age group 12-71 months.
d Millennium Development Goals. Downloaded from database.
e SADHS 2003 (Preliminary).
f Burden of Disease Prov 2000.
g This low value for KZN does not seem plausible based on comparison
with other data sources and other health outcome indicators for the
province.
h ASSA 2003.
i Maternal Deaths 2003.
j Antenatal Survey 2006.
k HIV Household Survey 2005. Data for male and female respondents
age 15 years and older.
l HIV Household Survey 2005.
m Pop and Repro Indicators 2005.
n DoH Notification System. Note that death notification data (StatsSA
Causes of death 2005) records 644 deaths from malaria in 2005
compared to 64 deaths recorded by the Notifiable disease system,
therefore it is likely that there is substantial under-reporting of malaria
statistics.
o Global TB Database.
p The values reported in the Global TB database are substantially different
to those reported in the Millennium Development Goals database.
