Economic burden of malaria in the Brazilian Amazon from a societal perspective
Malaria remains a global health challenge, imposing a substantial economic burden on health systems and society. Comprehensive assessments of this burden have been limited. This study aimed to provide a detailed estimate of the economic burden of malaria in the Brazilian Amazon. Public health expenditures were derived from a previous study. Direct, and indirect household costs and Health-Related Quality-of-Life (HRQoL) losses were estimated using…
Spatiotemporal analysis of within-country imported malaria in Brazilian municipalities, 2004–2022
Human mobility has challenged malaria elimination efforts and remains difficult to routinely track. In Brazil, administrative records from the Ministry of Health allow monitoring of mobility locally and internationally. Although most imported malaria cases are between municipalities in Brazil, detailed knowledge of patterns of mobility is limited. Here, we address this gap by quantifying and describing patterns of malaria-infected individuals acr…
The economic cost of malaria in Brazil from the perspective of the public health system
This paper presents an economic evaluation aimed at estimating malaria-related health care expenditures in Brazil from the perspective of the public health system. Comprehensive estimates of the costs of malaria remain scarce, in part because of limited data. Brazil has a universal health system (Sistema Único de Saúde-SUS) in which all cases of malaria are diagnosed and treated. In addition, antimalarial drugs are only available through the SUS.…
A snapshot of a representative Brazilian state of illegal mining in indigenous areas during the era of malaria elimination
Malaria is a public health problem and the cases diagnosed in the capital of Roraima, Brazil, show potential to characterize the burden of the disease in the state. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory aspects of malaria cases diagnosed in Boa Vista. For this purpose, a descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in two health units in the city, with individuals diagnosed and who agreed to respond the qu…
