Malaria, a public health burden in Uganda
Malaria is still a public health burden and represents more than 200 million infections and half a million deaths each year. It places a heavy burden on Uganda’s public health system and economy. 90% of Uganda’s population is at risk of becoming infected with malaria.
In 2017, there were more than 8 million cases and over 3000 deaths due to malaria in Uganda. Sub-Saharan Africa is still the most affected by malaria with 90% of cases globally. Despite recent progress, efforts to combat malaria are stalling, as shows the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) latest World Malaria Report.
Existing methods to combat malaria such as insecticides treated nets, insecticides, antimalarial drugs have helped tremendously to reduce the malaria problem in Africa but unfortunately are not enough to eradicate malaria from Africa.
Various researches are carried out in order to contribute to the elimination of malaria by 2030 as advocated by WHO in its global technical strategy document for the fight against malaria 2016-2030 and Target Malaria is part of this effort.
