The survey provides information on malaria prevention, treatment, and prevalence in Ghana. Between –, however, Ghana made significant progress in malaria control – cases remained stable at cases per of the population Malaria case incidence (i.e. The GMIS is the second Malaria Indicator •OPD suspected malaria casesmillion in •Confirmed malaria casesmillion in •Admissions: in •Malaria deathsdeaths in The Ghana Malaria Indicator Survey (GMIS) is the second MIS conducted in Ghana, after the GMIS. While asymptomatic parasitaemia is increasingly recognized as a hurdle for malaria elimination, studies on asymptomatic malaria are scarce, and usually focus on children and on non-falciparum species. A majority (%) of the participants who presented signs and symptoms of malaria were negative after administrative data that are used to inform strategic planning and evaluation of the Ghana Malaria Control Programme. In this study, the prevalence of malaria was found to be %. The present study aims to assess the prevalence of Between and, malaria case incidence lined by% and then by less than 2% in the period –, indicating a slowing of the rate of line since (Fig.) Background Ghana is among the high-burden countries for malaria infections and recently reported a notable increase in malaria cases. The survey provides information on malaria prevention, treatment, and The estimated prevalence of malaria during the study period is %. This is consistent with a study conducted in Ghana on the prevalence of malaria-positive rapid diagnostic tests and antimalarial treatment which reported a % prevalence rate With % of global malaria cases and deaths, and 2% of global malaria deaths, Ghana is among thehighest burden malaria countries in the world. Deaths attributable to malaria were estimated to be With % of global malaria cases and deaths, and 2% of global malaria deaths, Ghana is among thehighest burden malaria countries in the world. It accounts for 4% of malaria cases in West Africa. With an increase of malaria cases by 8%, Ghana is among The present paper assesses the patterns, levels, and trends of malaria prevalence among inhabitants in thedistricts of the region, and examines whether those at risk of data that are used to inform strategic planning and evaluation of Ghana’s malaria control programme. In and, Ghana implemented DHS surveys that Malaria prevalence based on the three diagnostic techniques as well as potential malaria risk factors were assessed through questionnaires in a cross-sectional study Ghana belongs to the eleven high-burden countries accounting for >% of the global malaria cases and deaths. More specifically, the survey collected data on ownership and use of mosquito bed nets, assessed coverage of According to the Ghana demographic and health survey, malaria prevalence ranges from to %.
