This project consisted in distributing kits containing malaria self-tests and Artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) to be used in the gold mining areas in FG, as well as training on malaria and how to correctly self-diagnose and self-treat. From April 2018 to March 2020, 4,766 kits were distributed to 3733 participants.
direct comparison of malaria morbidity pattern in mining and non-mining communities is therefore of relevance. This study was conducted to compare the malaria prevalence in quarry mining and non ...
This study explores the prevalence and factors influencing malaria prevention, care seeking and treatment behaviors in Guyana gold mining camps. A cross sectional survey was conducted among adult gold miners living in mining camps in the hinterland Regions 1 (Barima-Waini), 7 (Cuyuni-Mazaruni), and 8 (Potaro-Siparuni).

Malaria prevalence in indigenous and mining areas has been increasing since 2014. Conclusion. The presence of miners in indigenous areas is a reality that has been contributing to the increase of malaria cases in Roraima. The need to implement health policies that also meet this contingent is reinforced.
