Trends and inequalities in insecticide-treated net use among children under five in Ghana, 2003–2022: analysis of Demographic and Health Surveys using the WHO Health Equity Assessment Toolkit (HEAT)
Although ITN use among Ghanaian children under five has increased substantially since 2003, widening inequities persist, particularly by wealth, region, and residence. Findings highlight the need for equity-focused policies to accelerate progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.3, ending malaria by 2030.
