GUINEA
Guinea’s entire population of 12 million people is at risk of malaria. According to the Ministry of Health, malaria is the primary cause of consultations, hospitalizations and deaths in the general population. Since becoming a PMI partner country, Guinea’s National Malaria Control Program has achieved many major milestones: two universal coverage campaigns with long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), decreased stockouts of artemisinin-based combination therapies, the rollout of rapid diagnostic tests, and a significant decrease of the prevalence of malaria in children under five years of age. The national malaria strategy involves free continuous distribution of ITNs through antenatal care, vaccination clinics and schools as well as mass campaigns.

Each Malaria Operational Plan has been endorsed by the U.S. Global Malaria Coordinator and reflects collaborative discussions with the national malaria control programs and partners in country. Changes to these plans are reflected in revised postings.
