Monthly Health Met Bulletin May 2026

Shifts in climate suitability occurred from the southeastern to the Western parts of Kiremt, benefiting areas by reducing the transmission of Malaria. Oromia, South, South-western, and Central Ethiopia, Sidama, Gambela, and Benishangul Gumuz regions have expanded suitable climate conditions for the transmission of malaria. However, the heat stress condition during this period was from moderate to high heat risk conditions in most parts of the country. Particularly Afar, Somali, Gambela, South Ethiopia, Benishangul Gumuz, and Western Amhara regions were some of the highly heat-prone regions during this month for human health and daily activity.
