LIBERIA
In Liberia, malaria is the leading cause of attendance in outpatient departments and the number one cause of inpatient deaths. Recent household surveys show artemisinin combination therapy coverage in children under five years of age at 81 percent; intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women uptake at 55 percent; and households with at least one ITN at 62 percent. PMI and other partners are providing technical and financial support to reduce malaria burden in Liberia. The Liberian Ministry of Health’s Joint Annual Health Sector Review Report of 2016 indicated that malaria services were mostly available and provided by 97 percent of the health facilities across the country.
