This year, MSF is seeing disturbing indications that parts of the country may be poised for a second exceptionally severe season. In a sample of three MSF projects in the malaria-prevalent Western region of the country during the first three months of the malaria season, MSF is seeing equally high numbers of patients in 2015 compared to last year. In South Sudan, the Malaria season typically coincides with the rainy season, approximately from May to December. This year the rains have been slow to arrive, increasing MSF’s concern that malaria may accelerate if the rainy season picks up.This year, MSF is seeing disturbing indications that parts of the country may be poised for a second exceptionally severe season.
