Kano State Government said it treated about 336,896 out of 378,561 confirmed malaria cases in the first quarter of 2022.
The state Commissioner for Health, Ibrahim Tsanyawa, at a news conference to commemorate World Malaria Day, said that the cases were treated with free medications.
The theme of 2022 World Malaria Day is: “Advance Equity, Build Resilience, End Malaria’’.
Mr Tsanyawa, represented by Ashiru Rajab, the director of primary health care of the ministry, said out of the total cases diagnosed, there are 96 cases of mortality.
He said that there had been a reduction in the reported cases of malaria from 2021 to the first quarter of 2022.
He said malaria remained an issue in the under-developed nations due to bad behaviours and attitudes toward sanitation and hygiene.
The commissioner urged residents to report cases to health facilities for early diagnosis and treatment.
He appealed to residents to desist from self-medication and ensure effective treatment of malaria cases at health facilities.
