6 months ago Thank you for your contribution! Our upcoming update will definitely include it 👍 Just wanted to ask if there are any data from 2023 onwards available on the platform? - I tried a quick search without success so any advice would be really helpful.

6 months ago @ahyoung-lim, AFAIK they are planning on publishing annual datasets, will reach out to the people I think are processing the data at the Min. of Health in Peru, and let you know what I learn.

6 months ago @ahyoung-lim OK, got a response from the people from CDC Peru, they say that the data should be ready by the end of May approx., after that it will be published in the National Open Data platform.

6 months ago @jmcastagnetto Thanks so much! Really helpful. Will keep an eye out for the data update and include it together 👍
Official Open Data
The Dir. of Epidemiology (DGE, aka, CDC Perú) of the Ministry of Health of Perú (MINSA), has published Open Data at the individual case level, including three diagnostic types: Dengue without alarm signals, with alarm signals, and grave. The published data also includes year, epi week, age, sex and location at the District level (ADM3) and in some cases, up to locality (ADM4, 80% of rows). Peru has the following organization: Departamento (ADM1) > Provincia (ADM2) > District (ADM3) > Localidad/Centro Poblado (ADM4)
The URL for the dataset is: https://www.datosabiertos.gob.pe/dataset/vigilancia-epidemiol%C3%B3gica-de-dengue, where you can get the CSV format directly or programmatically using the API for DKAN (which is what the national Open Data platform uses).
At that URL, there is also documentation of the data dictionary of that dataset.
Let me know if you got some questions on that dataset and I can try to help.
