COTE D'IVOIRE: Rate of malaria infection unchanged despite peaceWednesday, April 23, 2008 The number of people
infected with and dying from malaria in Cote d’Ivoire has not improved over the
last five years, despite the end of the civil war in the country, the head of
the country’s malaria programme Dr. Moïse San Koffi told IRIN.
“Right now, the statistics are stagnant,” he said.
Between 2003 and 2008, 172,000 children between zero and five years-old died
every year from malaria in Cote
d’Ivoire, he said, equivalent to eight
children per hour.
