Malaria in Ethiopia - Coggle Diagram
Malaria in Ethiopia
socio-economic impacts of Malaria
Ethiopians suffer approximately 5 million episodes of malaria a year - kills around 70,000 people.
lost production in sub-Saharan Africa due to Malaria is estimated to be US$12 billion a year.
In Ethiopia, malaria absorbs 40% of national health expenditure and accounts for 10% of hospital admissions and 12% of health clinic visits.
accounts for 13-50% of school absenteeism (level of education is much lower)
annual cost of malaria to Ethiopia is $200 million - this money could be used as socioeconomic development if the disease was reduced
strategies to mitigate against Malaria and respond to outbreaks
direct strategies -
managing environment in order to destroy breeding grounds (e.g flushing away stagnant water)
PMI direct strategies
seasonal malaria Chemoprevention- PMI helps countries conduct annual campaigns by purchasing the needed preventive medicines, training and supervising health workers and encouraging caregivers to give the medicine to eligible children. (offered in 9 countries)
entomological monitoring - PMI supports local scientists in studying mosquito behavior, which help inform national strategies for fighting mosquitoes
indoor residual spraying (IRS)
indirect strategies -
National Malaria strategic plan in line with the WHO's global campaign to roll back Malaria (RBM)-
insecticide- treated mosquito nets (ITN)
mosquito larval source reduction
by 2015 a survey showed that more than 70% of households in malaria-endemic areas were protected by either ITN or IRS
PMI indirect strategies
indoor residual spraying - offers community protection when at least 80% of houses in targeted areas are sprayed
since 2005 PMI have delivered 500 million nets to partner countries
PMI invests in supply chains, protective equipment, training, supervision, and regular communication between community health workers and clinic staff.
