Informing Health Decisions and Actions
Description
For week 36, we have seen a one percentage point reduction in the test positivity rate (from 58% to 57% this week) and the number of districts in upsurge has reduced from 50 to 44 this week. Despite this decline, we saw an increase across all other indicators: confirmed cases, deaths, and the percentage of districts with an inadequate stock of ACTs and RDTs. Continuous efforts from all stakeholders are needed to respond to the current malaria situation in the country.
