“I am pleased to inform you that the state malaria elimination programme has yielded better results as recently seen in the National Malaria Indicator Survey (NMIS)-2021 findings. Mosquito net ownership by households was 70.4 percent; net use by household was 36.7 percent, use by Children under 5-years of age was 55.8 percent; net use by pregnant women was 56.6 percent; pregnant women who received Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT) at least once was 78.7 percent; prevalence of malaria in children under 5 by RDT was 18.6 percent.

 

“The state has had seven rounds of uninterrupted Seasonal Malaria Chemo-prevention (SMC) intervention between 2017 and 2023 through the support of Nigeria Malaria Elimination Programme (NMEP), World Health Organisation (WHO) and Malaria Consortium (MC) where over 2,000,000 children aged 3 months to 5 years of age were reached every year.

 

In his remarks, the state coordinator, WHO, Dr Salisu Ibrahim, lauded the Borno State Government for giving priority to healthcare needs of the people and assured that WHO and other partners would continue to support the state in tackling malaria and other infectious diseases.
