Reaffirmation of positive commitment by the state commissioner of health Baba Mallam Gana.
He confirmed that the state has recorded over 527,000 malaria cases in 2023 with 15,000 severe cases which has now dropped significantly as a result of efforts put in place by the state government.
Easy access to malaria preventive and treatment interventions was guaranteed by the World Health Organization especially in communities that are difficult to reach and have just relocated.
The state government pledged to provide free Long Lasting Treated nets to pregnant women, children under five, and newly resettled communities, along with a steady supply of antimalarial medications.
