PMI: Presidents Malaria Initiative - Saving lives in Africa.

Uganda

 

Malaria in Uganda
In Uganda, malaria is the most commonly reported disease by both public and private health facilities. Clinically-diagnosed malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 25 to 40 percent of outpatient visits at health facilities, 15 to 20 percent of all hospital admissions, and 9 to 14 percent of all hospital deaths. Nearly half of in-patient deaths among children under the age of five are attributed to clinical malaria. In most parts of Uganda, temperature and rainfall allow stable, year-round malaria transmission at high levels with relatively little seasonal variability.

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