Spatio-temporal monitoring of health facility-level malaria trends in Zambia and adaptive scaling for operational intervention

Abstract

Lubinda et al. analyse over 32 million health-facility reported malaria cases in Zambia (2009–15) to examine spatially-structured temporal trends. They observe overall increasing trends in risk and rates and highlight the potential benefits of using an adaptive scaling approach in national malaria strategies, and a need for cross-border initiatives.
