Overview
Abstract
Malaria is a significant public health problem in Kenya. More than 70 percent of the population live in malaria risk areas, including those most vulnerable to the disease: children and pregnant women. In the last 5 years, tremendous efforts have been made to combat malaria with prevention and treatment interventions such as mass and routine mosquito net distribution programs to attain universal coverage, intermittent preventive treatment for malaria during pregnancy, and parasitological diagnosis and management of malaria cases.The Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey is one of the key performance monitoring tools that are periodically used to provide an in-depth assessment of malaria control over time. This is the third survey undertaken; the previous two were in 2007 and in 2010.
This report provides information on the performance of the key malaria control interventions as experienced by communities across the country. The results contained in this report are crucial to the evaluation of interventions, planning for the future, and understanding the dynamics that affect malaria control programme efforts.
The report shows that with concerted efforts and effective partnerships we can reduce the impact of malaria in the country. A clear indication of this is the overall reduction in malaria prevalence in Kenya as compared with the 2010 survey results. Other key results include the increased uptake in ownership and use of nets as well as improved availability of recommended medicines for the treatment of malaria. The survey results are similar to those for malaria control indicators reported by the 2014 Kenya Demographic Health Survey.
The report has come at an opportune time, and the government urges stakeholders at all levels to embrace the report, assess its implications on malaria control, and chart the way forward. The report will form the platform for our malaria control strategy in the coming years. It is clear that with continued investments we can make substantial progress toward the objective of eliminating communicable diseases, and thus the Ministry of Health is committed to further reducing the malaria burden in the coming years. A malaria-free Kenya is possible.
