More than 800 patients have been admitted to health units in the city of Maputo with malaria since the beginning of the year.
The health sector warns that cases could increase in the current rainy season, and calls on residents to leave flooded areas.
The data were advanced to AIM by Maputo Councillor for Health and Social Action, Alice de Abreu, in a briefing on water-borne diseases. The mosquito that causes malaria is born in stagnant waters, putting at risk residents in areas prone to flooding.
“Since the beginning of the year, we have a cumulative 836 cases of malaria, with zero deaths, against 706 cases reported in the same period of 2022, also without deaths,” Abreu said.
