TANZANIA
In Tanzania malaria is considered a major public health problem with the entire population at risk of infection. On the Tanzanian Mainland, more than 26 percent of all outpatient visits are attributable to malaria, resulting in an estimated 7.7 million confirmed and clinical malaria cases annually. Dramatic progress in malaria control has been made throughout Tanzania, nearly all malaria indicators improved over the period between 2005 and 2015. Zanzibar adopted a new strategic plan for 2013–2018, focused on malaria pre-elimination. Under this plan, the vision is for Zanzibar to have no locally-acquired malaria cases by 2018. The Tanzanian Mainland continues to focus on malaria control through routine malaria prevention activities and interventions focused in high-transmission areas.
