Malaria prevalence among children in Uganda is highly heterogeneous.
Currently, national malaria indicator surveys in Uganda are conducted at the regional level among children under five. Thus, surveys do not provide information on malaria prevalence among school-going children, or that relating to district and subdistrict levels. In collaboration with the National Malaria Control Division, Malaria Consortium conducted a survey in 26 districts in northern Uganda and the Karamoja region to assess the heterogeneity of malaria prevalence.
This poster was presented at the 70th annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
