 Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease, is a major health burden on Mozambique, a beautiful country with gorgeous landscapes and strong culture, inhabited by about 30 million people. Malaria requires strategic, large-scale approaches to reduce the number of newly acquired cases and to prevent deaths. Mozambique is forging new battlefronts against malaria. Collaborations and partnerships are helping […]

 Mozambique is a colorful and diverse country in south-eastern Africa, home to more than 30 million people. Malaria is a persistent public health problem in Mozambique. The disease is caused by protozoan parasites of the Plasmodium species, most commonly the P falciparum and P vivax species, which are transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles

 In sub-Saharan Africa, especially in Mozambique, malaria remains a major public health challenge. It is a vector-borne infectious disease, transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. In 2020, there were approximately 241 million malaria cases worldwide and 627,000 deaths (mainly children in low- and middle-income countries). Data-driven decision-making approaches to malaria control

 Malaria continues to remain one of the most crucial public health issues in many tropical and subtropical regions. Despite great advancements in controlling this disease over the years, it continues to affect hundreds of thousands of people on an annual basis. Malaria can be combated most effectively through community-led initiatives aimed at enlightening people about

 Malaria is one of the major public health problems in Mozambique, a country that bears the majority of the global malaria burden. The disease is a major public health issue in Mozambique as it impacts more than 70 percent of the population with malaria being the first cause of morbidity and the second leading cause

 For decades, the humble bed net has been one of the most potent weapons in the battle to reign in malaria. In the early 1990s, bed nets transformed malaria prevention in several simplistic ways. Yet malaria continues as a major public health problem around the world. Because the disease remains a menace, bed net technology

 Millions of people are still affected by malaria each year. To prevent this devastating disease and bring this number down, many malaria control programs use bed net distribution to provide long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) to the most vulnerable populations to act as a barrier to mosquitoes and malaria. However, if we are to know that

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are now recognized as a key tool in global health, addressing challenges that no single sector can tackle alone. One notable application in malaria prevention is the distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets. These simple nets create a protective barrier against mosquitoes and significantly reduce the risk of infection. In areas where organizations

 When it comes to combating malaria globally, one of the most powerful preventive tools in the arsenal is bed nets. These simple interventions involve covering oneself with a net at night, creating a layer of protection from biting mosquitoes; and they represent both low procurement and implementation costs, especially in endemic settings. But to scale

 Bed-net distribution programs have become the most cost-effective and beneficial malaria intervention programs to date. Such programs, which involve the provision of insecticide-treated bed nets, simultaneously provide substantial health benefits and economic advantages. This article elucidates how the long-term economic gains accrued from investing in bed net distribution programs concern health changes; reduced health care
