MOZAMBIQUE
Malaria is endemic throughout Mozambique, and its entire population is at risk. It accounts for 29 percent of all deaths and 42 percent of deaths in children under five years of age. Data from a 2015 household survey demonstrated that malaria prevalence in rural areas is twice as high as in urban areas. Between 2015 and 2016, there was a decrease in the reported number of severe malaria cases by 6 percent and in the number of deaths due to malaria by 32 percent. PMI-supported activities include: support of the IRS program; free routine ITN distribution through antenatal care and a school-based distribution pilot; procurement and distribution of RDTs and ACTs; provision of IPTp; and support for behavior change communication and surveillance.
