2 Regional Malaria Focal Persons Partners (WHO, Global Fund, USAID/PMI, DFID, CDC, and Noguchi etc.) Malaria Burden In the quarter under review, the country recorded 2.3 million suspected malaria cases at the OPD. This represents a 1.18% increase over cases reported during the same period in Averagely, 24,885 suspected malaria cases were recorded daily. The number of malaria admissions reduced from 79,822 in 2016 to 69,467. The number of deaths also reduced from 379 to 143 in This represents a percentage decrease of 22.86% and % in admissions and deaths respectively. Out of the 143 malaria deaths recorded in 2017, 74 deaths occurred among children under5 years compared to 152 in2016. Malaria under five Case Fatality Rate (CFR) also decreased from 0.39 in 2016 to 0.22 in Key Activities Undertaken in the First Quarter of 2017 NMCP undertook the following activities in 2017 to help achieve the targets set for the year with the ultimate aim of reducing malaria morbidity and mortality by 75% (using 2012 as baseline) by the year Case Management The unit participated in the Malaria Operational Plan (MOP) for the 2018 financial year. NMCP conducted 510,484home visits through CHPs within the period under review. SHOPS USAID in collaboration with NMCP coached 720 Over the Counter Medicine Sellers (OTCMS) attendance who purchased malaria RDTs from SHOPs on practical RDT principles and testing. The programme in collaboration with Institutional Care Division (ICD) oriented 30 Regional Malaria Lab OTSS Supervisors on proficiency Testing Scheme. Proficiency testing of medical laboratory scientists was conducted for 40 facilities nationwide. A survey on the availability and pricing of co-paid or green leaf ACTs was conducted in all the 10 regions. Integrated Vector Control Activities of the vector control unit within the period under review were mainly on planning for 2 P a g e
3 the 2017 Schools LLIN distribution campaign. The first ITN sub-committee meeting for the year was held in February 2017.Continuous distribution of LLINs in health facilities for Antenatal clinics (ANC) registrants and children 18 months and above due for measles 2 (two) continued in all regions. DHIMs data for the period under review showed that 128,540 LLINs were distributed in health facilities to ANC registrants and children 18 months and above given measles 2. Social and Behaviours Change Communication (SBCC) The Programme used mass media campaigns to advocate and intensify education on test, treat and track (T3); compliance, use and improve provider confidence in RDT, Intermittent preventive treatment in pregnancy (IPTp) and proper care and use of LLIN. A total number of 54 TV and 1,817 radio adverts were aired across the country in the quarter under review. In addition, 33 NGOs were funded to implement community sensitization in 9 regions, except Ashanti. Surveillance, Monitoring and Evaluation (SM&E) In the quarter under review, the SM&E unit organized three monthly data verification and validation exercise of routine data in all the 10 Regions. The programme populated a Principal Recipient (PR) dashboard for submission to Country Coordination Mechanism (CCM). Other activities undertaken include; preparation of annual statistics for the 2016 malaria report, participation in the Malaria Operational Plan (MOP) for the 2018 financial year, classification of DHIMS indicators, preparation of 2016 progress update and disbursement to The Global Fund (TGF), production of quarterly malaria bulletin (annual bulletin), participation in Malaria/RSSH Global Fund grant application, planning for Outreach Training and Supportive Supervision (OTSS) and Participated in the harmonization of DHIMS indicators organized by PPMED. Research The following research has either being conducted or is still ongoing; Malaria Indicator Survey, ATM Mortality Trend Analysis, Durability and viability studies on LifeNets (LLIN), Impact evaluation of BCC interventions among others. Finance and Administration 3 P a g e
4 As at the end of first quarter 2017, the programme had absorbed 91% of total funds released. A huge proportion of this disbursement was for procurement of commodities; (RDTs and ACTs including private sector co - payment). MALARIA STATISTICS FOR JANUARY MARCH, 2017 Reporting Rates DHIMS2 reporting rate completeness on the monthly OPD morbidity form increased from 70.8% in the first quarter of 2016 to 80.5% in 2017.The Monthly Anti-Malaria reporting form also increased from 86.6% in2016 to 97.5% in Table 4: Number and Proportion of Malaria OPD Cases, Admissions and Deaths in Ghana, Jan Mar 2017 Indicator Number Reported Proportion Of Cases Attributable To Malaria OUT PATIENT DEPARTMENT (OPD) ADMISSION DEATHS Total OPD Cases 6,066,431 Suspected Malaria Cases 2,270, Tested Malaria Cases 1,904, Confirmed Malaria Cases 956, Pregnant Women 28, Total Admissions (All ages) 349,949 Malaria admissions (All ages) 69, Under 5 malaria admissions 33, Total deaths (All ages) 7,966 Total malaria deaths (All ages) Under 5 malaria deaths Under 5 Malaria CFR 0.22 MALARIA MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY 4 P a g e
