Malaria KAP Study - 2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report presents the results of a malaria KAP survey among mobile migrant populations in and near small-scale gold mining (ASM) areas in Suriname, which was executed between December 2022 and June 2023. Suriname is on its way to eliminate malaria, with a very low number of malaria cases. The main challenge in working towards malaria elimination is now management of imported cases. The purpose of this study is to collect and present data that will contribute to public health policies aimed at further reducing malaria in Suriname. Key statistics from this study are presented in table 1 below.
