PMI: Presidents Malaria Initiative - Saving lives in Africa.

Liberia

 

Malaria in Liberia
Until 2003, Liberia experienced intermittent civil war for more than a decade, and almost all health services were provided by humanitarian assistance groups. With the return to political stability, the Government of Liberia has increasingly taken responsibility for the provision of health services. Malaria is endemic throughout the country and transmission occurs year-round, with a peak in September to October. According to a recent health facility survey, malaria accounts for about 35 percent of outpatient department attendance and 33 percent of inpatient deaths.

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Liberia. Each MOP briefly reviews the current status of malaria control and prevention policies and interventions, identifies challenges and unmet needs, and describes planned activities under PMI. These MOPs have been endorsed by the Global Malaria Coordinator and reflect collaborative discussions with national malaria control programs and partners in country.
