Malaria deaths have nearly doubled in Chad this year. Around 780,000 cases have been diagnosed. Heavy rainfall is the cause of the increase of mosquitos which causes the a rise in Malaria cases. Action is taking place to try and stabilize the situation. Currently, Malaria prevention in Chad is very weak due to poor public information. However, in the worst affected districts, The World Health Organization has distributed bed nets, medicines, and vaccinations.
