Details of the malaria situation this week

Reporting rate this week (75.7%) is a drop from the previous week, 2019W4 (83.9%).

There was a 9% drop in reported malaria cases (105,566 this week vs. 116,330 in W4)

High confirmed malaria incidence continues in the West Nile districts of Moyo and Adjumani Districts. Southwards, Butambala, Kyotera and Kyegegwa Districts had comparably

higherincidence rates.

This week, Hoima, Soroti, and Mbale reported ≥3 deaths each.

Jinja, Kagadi, Lyantonde, Maracha, Mubende, and Namayingo Districts had the highest proportion

of facilities reporting stockouts of ACTs.

27% (35/128) of districts treated ≥15% of patients who tested negative were treated with

antimalarial

About 50% f districts had over half of their facilities reporting RDT stockouts. Kampala, Buliisa

and Kumi Districts reported over 70% of health facilities reporting ACT stockouts.

Of all the districts, 50% (64) had reporting rates <80%. This requires improvement for enhanced

data quality

Adherence to treatment of who were tested negative for malaria remains poor

Recommendations

RHITES-E to support Mbale RRH investigate deaths

MAPD to support Arua RRH and Hoima RRH investigate the deaths

Malaria Control division, and District health teams to investigate the rest of the deaths

DHT, NMS, Pharmacy Division and Malaria Control Program to ensure facilities are well stocked

with RDTs in districts with low stock

High Positivity rates in Gomba, Butambala, West Nile and Busoga
