The ministry of health and social services is under criticism after confirmed malaria cases reportedly rose by 68% in the first four weeks of the year, with thousands of infections, hundreds of hospital admissions and at least one death recorded.

Concerns over prevention measures and continued rainfall in high-risk areas are growing.

Speaking to Desert FM, ministry spokesperson Walter Kamaya addresses the spike and outlines government efforts to strengthen malaria control and prevention.
