MALI
Malaria is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in Mali, particularly among children under five years of age. According to a 2015 household survey, the prevalence of malaria among children under five years of age was 36 percent. The entire population of Mali is at risk for malaria, although transmission varies across the country’s five geo-climatic zones. Mali’s malaria control strategy emphasizes specific epidemic and entomological surveillance and universal coverage of key malaria interventions as well as targeted operational research. Household survey results indicate a nearly 50 percent reduction of under-five mortality rates from 2006 to 2012.
