BURKINA FASO
Malaria remains a major public health issue and is endemic throughout Burkina Faso. Insecticide resistance is increasing every year, and resistance to insecticides is evident in many parts of the country. The malaria control approach includes three components: improvements in tracking of human illness, parasite surveillance and effective resource delivery. Significant efforts have been made to stabilize the antimalarial commodity situation. The increased availability of rapid diagnostic tests, artemisinin-based combination therapies and injectable artisunate has helped improve malaria case management in health facilities.
