Evaluating malaria burden in children under-five and intervention outcomes in Tarkwa-Nsuaem municipality
The study showed a significant reduction in malaria-related mortality in Tarkwa-Nsuaem, likely attributable to improved case management and treatment coverage. However, the fluctuating ITN coverage and the recent rise in severe cases warrant further investigation. Targeted interventions, especially in mining areas, and more consistent vector control measures are needed to sustain progress and further reduce malaria incidence.
