Mapping Malaria Risk Using Geospatial and AHP Approaches in Nsanje District, Malawi
Malaria remains one of the critical public health threats, particularly in endemic sub-Saharan countries like Malawi.Although malaria prevalence has declined over the years, the disease continues to pose a notable public health burden, contributing to high levels of morbidity and mortality.This study mapped malaria risk in Nsanje District, southern Malawi.Environmental variables (temperature, rainfall, elevation, slope, and proximity to rivers) were used to model malaria hazard, while socio-economic factors (proximity to health facilities and roads, and https://doi.org/10.1017/S0950268826101678Published online by
