Forecast: Use of Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets for Malaria Prevention in Ghana

The use of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) for malaria prevention among children under 5 in Ghana has shown a steady upward trend from 55.1% in 2024 to a forecasted 57% by 2028. This represents a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.5 percentage points. When comparing the forecasted data for the initial years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period from 2023 to 2028 indicates a consistent and moderate growth pattern.

Future trends to watch for include the continued effectiveness of ITN distribution programs, potential changes in government health policies, and the impact of any emerging new malaria prevention technologies. Monitoring these trends will be crucial for sustaining and potentially accelerating the adoption rates of ITNs in Ghana.
