Benin

Malaria in Benin Malaria is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five in Benin. Data from Benin’s health management information system and the most recent nationwide health survey (Demographic and Health Survey [DHS] 2006) also suggest a high burden of morbidity from anemia, much of which is likely caused by malaria. Malaria is reported to account for 40 percent of outpatient consultations, 25 percent of all hospital admissions, and about 32 percent of deaths of children under five.   Read more about PMI's activities in the Benin Country Profile [PDF, 213KB].

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Benin. Each MOP briefly reviews the current status of malaria control and prevention policies and interventions, identifies challenges and unmet needs, and describes planned activities under PMI. These MOPs have been endorsed by the Global Malaria Coordinator and reflect collaborative discussions with national malaria control programs and partners in country.
