IHP 501 Module Three Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Great going! Now that you have selected the stakeholders for your humanitarian aid trip, it is time for you to do a deeper investigation into the speci�c health challenge attached to the
scenario of your choice. Health challenges may and will vary across developing and developed countries. This week you gained insight surrounding the prevalence, incidence, and impacts of
global nutrition and mental health challenges. For this assignment, you will engage in a similar investigation of your selected scenario.
Prompt
Building on your prior project preparation assignments, you will go a step further to analyze the speci�c health challenge for your humanitarian aid trip by crafting a short paper.

1-2 Project Preparation: Introduction Short Paper
Deanna Buchanan
Southern New Hampshire University
IHP 501: Global Health and Diversity
1-2 Project Preparation
Zambia has long struggled with the devastation of malaria, a disease spread by mosquitoes. Scholarly articles like "Modeling Malaria Reduction" (Nawa, Halwindi, & Hangoma, 2020) and research studies like "Efficiency of Malaria Reactive test-and-treat program in southern Zambia" (Deutsch-Feldman et al., 2018) demonstrate the growing interest in the problem of malaria reduction in Zambia. This brief essay will examine the significance of combating malaria in Zambia, the affected population, common health issues, the role of social determinants, the condition of education, access to healthcare, economic stability, and equity issues in this health challenge.
Scenario
Zambia, a landlocked nation in Southern Africa, has a serious malaria problem. Malaria has a significant negative impact on Zambia. Anopheles mosquitoes spread the illness and affect vulnerable populations disproportionately, especially young children and pregnant women. The effects of malaria on Zambians' health and welfare cannot be understated.
Population
Zambia is a diversified and expanding country with an estimated population of over 18 million. This demographic variety also highlights the difficulties in combating health problems like malaria. Within this population, vulnerable groups, including children under five and pregnant women, bear a disproportionate amount of the burden of malaria. As healthcare infrastructure and accessibility vary greatly between urban and rural settings, the population's dispersal further complicates attempts to control malaria. Zambia's people's different requirements and circumstances must be considered in a comprehensive malaria reduction strategy, and efforts must be made to ensure that everyone in society has fair access to preventative measures and healthcare services.
Prevalent Health Concerns
In Zambia, one of the most urgent health issues is malaria. The ailment not only sickens and kills many people but also places a heavy financial strain on the nation. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that malaria causes 4,000 yearly fatalities in Zambia. (WHO, 2023). Malaria has a high mortality rate and a high morbidity rate, which lowers people's quality of life and puts a burden on the healthcare system.
Social Determinants
The fight against malaria in Zambia is intrinsically tied to various social determinants that influence the spread and impact of the disease.
Education
The spread of vital knowledge regarding malaria prevention and control may be hampered by limited access to high-quality education in some areas of Zambia. Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), prompt medical attention, and involvement in community-based activities are all benefits a population with more education can appreciate (Jumbam et al., 2020).
Healthcare
In order to combat malaria, medical services must be accessible and available, especially in rural regions. Malaria cases can become more severe if early identification and treatment are hampered by inadequate healthcare infrastructure, long travel times to health facilities, and a lack of healthcare staff (Nawa, Halwindi, & Hangoma, 2020).
Economic Stability
The prevalence of malaria is correlated with economic health and income levels. Poverty can make it more difficult for people and communities to purchase preventative measures like ITNs and seek quick medical assistance when contracting an infection. Additionally, the financial costs of malaria, such as medical bills and missed production, contribute to the cycle of poverty (Nawa, Halwindi, & Hangoma, 2020).
Inequity
Disparities in malaria outcomes result from unequal access to resources and healthcare services. Accessing necessary malaria interventions can be especially difficult for vulnerable groups, such as those who reside in distant locations or disadvantaged communities (Deutsch-Feldman et al., 2018).
Conclusion
In conclusion, combating the widespread health issue of malaria in Zambia is morally required and important for public health. This mosquito-borne illness has caused a sizable amount of morbidity and death among the populace, notably among youngsters and pregnant women, underscoring the urgent need for all-encompassing management techniques. Zambia must address the larger socioeconomic factors that contribute to the spread and effects of malaria and provide healthcare services to battle the disease effectively. A holistic strategy must include investments in education, especially in rural regions, increased access to healthcare, programs to promote economic empowerment, and tackling resource distribution imbalances. By addressing these issues, Zambia may make significant strides in lowering the prevalence of malaria, decreasing the financial burden, and eventually enhancing the health and welfare of its citizens. By working together, Zambia can get closer to eliminating malaria. Our common obligation is to ensure that no one is left behind in the battle against malaria.
