UGANDA
The entire population of Uganda is at risk of malaria, which accounts for 34 percent of outpatient visits and 37 percent of hospital admissions. With the scale-up of malaria prevention and treatment interventions, progress in malaria control has been made throughout Uganda. All-cause under-five mortality has dropped 53 percent; from 137 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 64 in 2016. Uganda’s efforts against malaria are guided by the Malaria Reduction Strategic Plan for 2014–2020, which calls for a rapid and synchronized nationwide scale-up of cost-effective interventions to achieve universal coverage of malaria prevention and treatment.

Researchers and Donors Collaborate to Ensure the Fight Against Malaria is Informed by Quality Data
]: Without timely and reliable data on confirmed malaria cases, it is difficult for those leading the fight against malaria to determine where and how to focus resources or measure the impact of activities. The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and African researchers have come together to assess the accuracy of malaria surveillance data so that national malaria programs have the information they need to protect populations and save lives.
