Reported deaths from malaria

DefinitionThe number of deaths from malaria reported to the Department of Health.

Note: Since malaria transmission in South Africa is seasonal, occurring primarily between October to May, data may be reported by season rather than by calendar year. In this case data labelled 2001/02 season would be data for July 2001 to June 2002.
