D.R. CONGO
Malaria is the principal cause of morbidity and mortality in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, accounting for more than 40 percent of all outpatient visits and for 19 percent of deaths among children under five years of age. The National Malaria Control Strategic Plan 2016–2020 focuses high-impact interventions in the areas that bear the greatest disease burden. PMI is concentrating its efforts in 9 out of 26 provinces, covering a population of approximately 33.4 million. Since 2010, the mortality rate for children under five years of age has fallen by 34 percent, and the incidence rate has fallen by 40 percent.
