The Government has rolled out another mosquito net distribution campaign across the country as data reveals soaring malaria cases. The nationwide campaign, valued at about 365 billion shillings, is jointly funded by the Government of Uganda, the Global Fund, and the United States Government.
Findings from the 2024 Malaria Indicator Survey show that malaria prevalence has increased to 12.5%, up from 9.2% in 2019. Uganda contributes 4.7% of global malaria cases, ranking third worldwide, and 2.7% of global malaria deaths, ranking ninth.
Officials from the Ministry of Health say that in 2025, over 2,340 malaria-attributed deaths were registered.
