Abstract

Decision-making in infectious disease control must be based on data and evidence-based approaches. The objective of this study is to depict the regional-based vulnerability of infectious diseases in Semarang City. Using data from routine services provided by 37 health centers (Puskesmas) from 2020 to January 2023, a total of 159,898 patients were included. A quantitative descriptive analysis approach was used to determine the distribution of infectious diseases based on age groups, spatial locations, and time periods. The results show that diarrhea is the highest prevalent infectious disease over the three-year period, followed by COVID, Typhoid, and HIV. Patients from outside Semarang City still dominate the reported cases of infectious diseases. The sub-districts of Banyumanik, Pedurungan, and Tembalang tend to have the highest number of infectious disease cases. In terms of time distribution, the number of infectious disease cases varies significantly, with a tendency to increase during the last quarter of the year or after long holidays. These findings are likely influenced by the conditions during the COVID pandemic, but diseases like Diarrhea, Typhoid, and HIV tend to remain high even during the pandemic. Given Semarang City's strategic position, cases from outside the city also play a significant role in the epidemiology of infectious diseases within Semarang. This vulnerability analysis can assist decision-makers, even at the village level, in diagnosing and prioritizing health issues, particularly infectious diseases.
