Summary• Slight decrease in parasite prevalence between 2010 and 2012,
but still and overall decline compared to 2006• Improving quality ITN distributions through door-to-door
campaigns, particularly in Luapula, Muchinga, and Eastern– More ITNs per household to cover all sleeping spaces– Increase in use among all ages, including U5s and PW
• General shift in IRS coverage from urban to more malarious, rural areas
• IPTp continues to remain high, including more than half of women receiving 3 doses during pregnancy
• Trend in improving use of ACTs among antimalarials and increasing amounts of testing for febrile episodes
![Page 42: Situation analysis for the Mid-Term Review of the NMSP 2011-2015: Relevent outcomes and impact measures Chaminuka, Lodge](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051819/551b640f550346d6338b4789/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Recommendations (1)• Changes in parasite prevalence and severe anemia, while reduced in some
areas, have stagnated in several key areas of the country. It is recommended to examine approaches to maximizing the use of existing prevention and treatment interventions in combinations to exact the greatest impact on localized malaria burden.
• Re-establish high ITN ownership and use in areas of the country that dropped between 2010 and 2012 including Southern, Western, Central provinces provinces and encourage continued sustained coverage of ITNs uptake among all households and household members throughout the country.
• The effort to reach to last 30% of households is likely to be more difficult than reaching the 70% presently reached. The National Malaria Control Program recommends house to house distribution for replacement and current strategies should align to attain highest coverage possible. Full coverage at community level benefits all members of the community, including the most vulnerable populations of children under five and pregnant women.

Recommendations (2)
• Continue to strategically offer IRS services to areas with malaria to maximize the potential of malaria burden reduction, complementing current IRS and ITN efforts and in conjunction with an integrated vector management framework.
• Continue to expand case management, including diagnostics for parasitologic confirmation of suspected malaria cases, and consider that screening populations and treating those with infection may be important to further curtail malaria transmission. This latter effort would be especially appropriate in areas with continued and persistent high levels of malaria parasitaemia and transmission to supplement existing malaria prevention interventions.
