Malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies in Kaduna State, Nigeria

Description

Malaria is a preventable disease but 3.4 billion people at risk globally with 207 million cases and 627 deaths reported in 2013. Africa accounts for 80% of cases and 90% of all malaria deaths. Nigeria accounts for 25% of malaria burden in Africa. The goal of malaria control is to reduce malaria –related transmissions, cases and deaths to a level where it is no longer a public health concern.

Objective

We aim to assess the implementation of malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies, to assess implementation trends from 2011 to 2014 and if surveillance targets were met.
