Malaria in Uganda

Uganda is a part of sub-Saharan Africa, a region that is most at risk for malaria due global warming that favors the existence, growth and spread of the malaria vectors. This region is very poor and lacks a lot of resources needed to control the spreading of malaria. Uganda has the highest incidence rate of malaria in Africa, being that 473 cases/1,000 people per year are reported. Malaria is also the leading factor in mortality and morbidity in Uganda.
