PMI: Presidents Malaria Initiative - Saving lives in Africa.

Tanzania

 

Malaria in Tanzania
In the United Republic of Tanzania, 93 percent of the population on the Mainland and all 1.2 million people on Zanzibar are at risk for malaria. Annual malaria deaths in Tanzania are estimated to be 60,000, with 80 percent of these deaths among children under the age of five. Approximately 14 million to 18 million clinical malaria cases are reported annually by public health services. More than 40 percent of all outpatient attendances are attributed to malaria. Zanzibar has controlled malaria, but continued surveillance and epidemic response are required to prevent a resurgence of malaria.

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Tanzania. 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.
