PMI: Presidents Malaria Initiative - Saving lives in Africa.

Tanzania

 

Malaria in Tanzania
Malaria continues to be a major public health problem on the Mainland of Tanzania, where about 41 million residents are at risk of the disease. Transmission is highest in the north of the country around Lake Victoria and on the coast of the Indian Ocean. On Zanzibar, which has a population of 1.2 million people, malaria control efforts over the past five years have dramatically reduced transmission of the disease.

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.
