The morbidity method uses disease frequency and treatment guidelines to forecast commodity needs. It requires morbidity data on disease incidence/prevalence in the target population, standard treatment guidelines, and assumptions about scaling up plans and attrition rates. The calculation steps involve: 1) Establishing the medicines list with specifications 2) Categorizing diseases to address 3) Calculating quantities needed per treatment episode 4) Estimating monthly case numbers during the forecast period 5) Calculating total quantities for each commodity by multiplying estimated monthly cases by the forecast period and quantities per episode 6) Calculating total costs by multiplying total quantities by unit costs.
