QUESTION

What is the statistics of malaria from 2008 to 2011 in limpopo im malamulele town?

ANSWER

I think your best bet to get access to specific statistics for a particular town is to contact the local district health office directly, or contact an organization that works in the area on health issues. As far as I know, there are no publicly available malaria statistics for Malamulele town on the Internet. One organization I have found which works in the region is Sakhiwo Health Solutions, a company which appears to be involved in a malaria mitigation project in Malamulele. Their website is sakhiwo.com.

QUESTION

Where i go if i want statistic of malaria from 2008-2011

ANSWER

Without more information, I am assuming you would like statistics on malaria cases and deaths for 2008-2012. The best data on malaria comes from the World Health Organization, which retrospectively publishes its best estimated for malaria in its annual World Malaria Reports. Each report publishes the figures from the previous year, and the 2012 report has not yet been published, so at this point the WHO can only provide data for 2008-2010. It is also worth mentioning that as more information is collected, past estimates can sometimes be revised, but here I will present the figures from each annual report itself, rather than longer retrospective estimates.

In 2008, the number of cases was estimated at 243 million, with 863,000 deaths. In 2009, the report did not explicitly summarize the number of cases, but reported that deaths were down to approximately 781,000. In 2010, the number of cases and deaths both dropped yet further, to an estimated 216 million cases and 655,000 deaths. Despite these gains, the aim is to work towards a world with no malaria deaths at all by the year 2015, so much control work remains to be done.

Malaria Statistics in South Africa

QUESTION

What are the statistics of malaria in South Africa from 2002-2011 for males and females?

ANSWER

It is difficult to find statistics across time that are detailed enough to distinguish between the sexes. However, I have found a website collates information about malaria in southern Africa specifically, and this link will take you to a figure on that site which shows the number of cases for three regions of South Africa for almost the last 20 years: Malaria in Southern Africa.

Another source to look at is the World Health Organisation World Malaria Report from 2011, which for the first time, presented information on malaria cases and deaths from 99 individual countries. The website for that report, which can be freely downloaded can be accessed via this link: WHO World Malaria Report 2011.
