PMI: Presidents Malaria Initiative - Saving lives in Africa.

Zambia

 

Malaria in Zambia
In Zambia, malaria transmission occurs throughout the year, with a peak during the rainy season between November and April. All nine provinces of the country are endemic for malaria. In the last five years, evidence from routine information systems, national surveys, and focused studies have consistently shown declining malaria trends. Although there are clear signs of improvement, malaria continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Zambia, and control of the disease is one of the government’s highest priorities.

The Malaria Operational Plans (MOPs) below are detailed one-year implementation plans for PMI in Zambia. 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.
