Advancing Early Warning Systems for Malaria: Progress, Challenges, and Future Directions - A Scoping Review

Abstract

Background Malaria Early Warning Systems(EWS) are predictive tools that often use climatic and environmental variables to forecast malaria risk and trigger timely interventions. Despite their potential benefits, the development and implementation of malaria EWS face significant challenges and limitations. We reviewed the current evidence on malaria EWS, including their settings, methods, performance, actions, and evaluation.
