COTE D'IVOIRE

As Côte d’Ivoire transitions into an emerging economy, the country continues to face significant health challenges, including malaria––the leading cause of child deaths and a leading cause for doctor visits and hospitalization. Thanks to bipartisan congressional support for increasing its budget, the U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) expanded its work here. In 2017, it joined forces with Côte d’Ivoire to step up their fight against malaria. The partnership is already paying off, with significant gains in insecticide-treated mosquito net (ITN) and life-saving anti-malarial treatment distribution.
