Institutional quality, aid flows, and malaria burden: a geospatial analysis of sub-Saharan Africa.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malaria remains a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for approximately 95 percent of global malaria deaths despite extensive interventions. Significant disparities persist in disease burden across countries, with some achieving remarkable progress while others experiencing persistently high transmission rates, suggesting factors beyond resource availability influence disease control effectiveness.
