ZIMBABWE
Malaria is a major health problem in Zimbabwe with about half the population at risk. Malaria epidemiology varies across the country ranging from year-round transmission in lowland areas to epidemic-prone highland areas. According to Zimbabwe’s Health Information System, approximately 82 percent of malaria cases in 2016 originated from three eastern provinces. Reported cases decreased from 1.8 million in 2006 to 281,000 in 2016. The current National Malaria Strategic Plan goals are to: (1) reduce malaria incidence from 22/1,000 persons in 2012 to 5/1,000 persons by 2020; and (2) reduce malaria deaths by 90 percent of the 2015 figure by 2020.
