ASSESSMENT OF MALAIUA PARASITE RA TE AND SYSTEM ATTRIUBUTES IN THE SENTINEL SURVEILLANCE SITES IN GREATER ACCRA REGION.

ABSTRACT Background Malaria remains a major public health problem in the world. In Ghana, the entire population of24.2 million is at risk of malaria infection. Malaria is end emic and perennial in all parts of the country, with seasonal variations that are more pronounced in the north. From 2010 to 2015, Ghana has reduced by 45% malaria deaths. Progress in reduction of malaria prevalence has been recorded in the routine surveillance system through Health Management Information System but unfortunately that data suffers from reliability from presumed malaria. Therefore, Ghana established the sentinel surveillance system in 2013, with the aim to monitor the prevalence of malaria in the country and minimizing the proportion of cases of presumed malaria. Since this establishment the sentinel surveillance system, the indicators generated by the system show a clear progression in the control of malaria. Nevertheless, there is no evidence about how effective the system is performing
