Health systems and global progress towards malaria elimination, 2000-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As more countries progress towards malaria elimination, a better understanding of the most critical health system features for enabling and supporting malaria control and elimination is needed.

Methods

All available health systems data relevant for malaria control were collated from 23 online data repositories. Principal component analysis was used to create domain specific health system performance measures. Multiple regression model selection approaches were used to identify key health systems predictors of progress in malaria control in the 2000-2016 period among 105 countries. Additional analysis was performed within malaria burden groups.

Results

There was large heterogeneity in progress in malaria control in the 2000-2016 period. In univariate analysi
