Python: Plot Immunisation Trend

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load HMIS monthly data for your district (downloaded from hmis.nhp.gov.in)
# Format: one row per month, columns for each service indicator
hmis = pd.read_csv("hmis_pune_district_2022_23.csv")

# Parse date
hmis['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(hmis['Year'].astype(str) + '-' + hmis['Month'].astype(str))
hmis = hmis.sort_values('Date')

# Key immunisation indicators
indicators = ['BCG_Given', 'DPT3_Given', 'Measles1_Given', 'Full_Immunised']

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(14, 6))
for col in indicators:
    if col in hmis.columns:
        ax.plot(hmis['Date'], hmis[col], marker='.', linewidth=1.5, label=col)

ax.set_title("Monthly Immunisation Coverage — Pune District 2022-23")
ax.set_xlabel("Month")
ax.set_ylabel("Children Vaccinated")
ax.legend()
ax.grid(True, alpha=0.3)
plt.xticks(rotation=45)
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("hmis_immunisation_trend.png", dpi=150)
plt.show()

✏️ Practice Exercise

Exercise 4.3 — Track Institutional Deliveries Over Time

Goal: See how institutional delivery rate has changed in your district from 2010 to 2023.

1. Download HMIS annual data for your state from hmis.nhp.gov.in (or data.gov.in)
2. Filter for your district
3. Find column: "Institutional Deliveries" and "Total Deliveries Reported"
4. Calculate: Institutional Delivery Rate = (Institutional / Total) × 100
5. Plot as a line chart from 2010 to 2023

Questions: - [ ] Has institutional delivery rate improved in your district? - [ ] What was the rate in 2010? What is it now? - [ ] Compare to NFHS-5 value for your district — do they match? (They should be close) - [ ] Did COVID-19 (2020-21) cause a dip in any health service indicators?
