Description:Kenya recently transitioned from a paper to an electronic system for recording and reporting of tuberculosis (TB) data.|During September-October 2013, the data quality of the new system was evaluated through an audit of data in paper source documents and in the national electronic system, and an analysis of all 99 281 cases reported in 2012.|While the new electronic system overall is robust, this assessment demonstrated limitations in the concordance and completeness of data reaching the national level.|Additional oversight and training in data entry are needed to strengthen TB surveillance data quality in Kenya.
