Children_under_5

The high prevalence of malaria among children aged 6-59 months is a major concern for the Cameroon government, as malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among this vulnerable group. Preventing this disease would considerably reduce the persistent trend in malaria-related morbidity observed among children under 5 in Cameroon, and in the Centre (excluding Yaoundé), East and South regions, which have prevalence rates of 49.1%, 41.4% and 45.6% respectively.
