The burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa and Nigeria is a major public health concern. The stakes are still high and the socioeconomic topography of African nations affects the bid to eliminate malaria parasite vectors.
#WorldMalariaDay2021 #Malaria
We must come up with more innovative solutions to help achieve more results.
Public health promotion campaigns must place more emphasis on prompt diagnosis and complete treatment interventions.
Patients must be encouraged to complete their medication dosage even when they feel better in order to eliminate disease causing forms of the parasites and the reproductive gametocytes.
