Mokuolu who is also the National Technical Director at the National Malaria Elimination Programme said this at a webinar series tagged ‘Monitor Your Health.’
“Actions against malaria must be sustained, concerted, strategic, which must also be in available quantity to bring about the desired impact.
“In 2010, the prevalence was 42 per cent, in 2015, it came down to 27 per cent, while in 2018, 22 per cent. So, we are making progress, but far from where we are going. We must sustain the pressure on malaria,” he said.
