Laboratory-Confirmed Malaria and Associated Factors Among Febrile Adults Attending Screening Points in Selected IDP Camps, Mogadishu, Somalia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background

Malaria remains a public health concern in humanitarian settings, where displacement-related living conditions, environmental exposure, limited preventive measures, and disrupted healthcare may increase vulnerability. However, evidence on laboratory-confirmed malaria and associated factors among febrile adults in Somali IDP camps is limited. This study assessed malaria positivity and associated factors among febrile adults attending screening points in selected IDP camps in Mogadishu, Somalia.
