Statistical analysis investigating seasonal prevalence and forecasting malaria in Lokoja Kogi state
Keywords:
Seasonal prevalence, Fatality rate, Healthcare, Malaria and maternal careAbstract
Malaria is one of the world’s common and serious infection us diseases which cause at least one million deaths globally e very year. The majority of malaria occurred in the developing countries and the proportion keeps increasing annually because of dilapidated health facilities, deteriorating health system, persistent drug and insecticide resistance, climate change experience s, natural disaster. This study investigates seasonal prevalence and forecasting malaria in Lokoja Kogi state. The State Ministry of Health and its workers should carry out campaign awareness against this malaria, since the trend indicated that 0.11% and 0.51%. shows monthly decrease in overall malaria prevalence, children and adult malaria reported cases. The pregnant women generally, should be encouraged to attend Antenatal Care (ANC) since the result revealed that there was an increase of 0.82% in Malaria incidence cases. The Lokoja, Kogi State Administration should inoculate her residence and fumigate the environment at least Quarterly. The removal of blocked drainages and environmental cleanliness within the Capital City, Lokoja.
