Malaria is a global public health problem. Globally, among 87 malaria endemic countries, there were an
estimated 229 million malaria cases during the year2019 in, declining from 238 million in 2000 across 108
countries..
Although, recently the burden of malaria was reduced remarkably, it still remains one of the top ten high
burden diseases in Ethiopia at national and subnational level with an estimated 5,225,210 cases in 2019.
Hence, measuring the burden of the disease and assessing the trend is very important for monitoring the
extent and changes over a period of time.
This study aimed to assess the burden of malaria at national and subnational level in terms of death and
Disability-Adjusted Life Years lost (DALY) between the years 2000 and 2019 using Global Burden of Disease
study (GBD 2019).
