Every year on 25 April, Uganda joins the rest of the malaria endemic countries in commemorating the World Malaria Day. The Ministry of Health through its National Malaria Control Division conducts several activities on this day, including a scientific conference in which developments in malaria research are presented to key malaria stakeholders. The scientific conference will be held on 21-22 April, 2022.
Child Days Plus (CDP) are held in April and November of each year in Uganda since 2004. Activities during CDP months include vitamin A supplementation for children from 6 to 59 months of age and deworming of children from 1 to 14 years of age.
