Guinea: Ebola (2021) Cumulative cases (national)

Publisher: HERA - Humanitarian Emergency Response Africa · Source: HDX · License: cc-by · Updated: 2025-04-10

Abstract

National dataset of Ebola in Guinea (2021) - infections, recoveries, deaths, hospitalized, active cases, contact cases and gender data (if available). This dataset is a Pivot Table of the subnational data available on our HDX page.

Recently, the government of Guinea (ANSS) has changed the way they were communicating about Ebola. Gender cases, vaccination data, hospitalized cases are not available anymore. The architecture of this dataset might change over time, to remove gender cases which won't be given by the government. Update frequency : when new data is available.

Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2025-04-10. Geographic scope: GIN.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by Electric Sheep Africa.

No numeric columns.

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. 3 exact duplicate rows were removed. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

Data originates from HERA - Humanitarian Emergency Response Africa and has not been independently validated by ESA.
Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
