Country Summary:
In Angola malaria is the major public health problem and the
primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Malaria is endemic,
ranging from hyper-endemic in the north and along the coastal-low
lands to meso-endemic and hypo-endemic in the central high lands and
the south. Anopheles gambiae complex and Plasmodium falciparum are
respectively the main vector and parasite. Annually 1.4-2 million
clinical cases and about 11,000 malaria deaths are reported.

**=Global Fund Aids TB & Malaria. Number is estimated by
assuming 1/3 of money designated for malaria is spent on nets. For
the sake of not over estimating, we figured the cost of ITNs at 5 US
dollars a net. We know this price can be reduced if we purchase
together.
