Activity Title	Impact of malaria on haematological parameters of urban, peri-urban and rural residents in the Ashanti region of Ghana: a cross-sectional study
Details	Malaria remains the most important protozoan infection of humans and continues to have an immense impact on the health and quality of life of people across the world. Despite the decrease in incidence of mortality due to malaria in the last decade, the most recent World Malaria Report revealed that 228 million clinical cases of malaria were reported, resulting in no less than 405,000 deaths, the majority of which were in sub-Saharan Africa. The introduction of malaria parasites into the host peripheral blood by an infected female. While haematological changes associated with malaria have been well-characterizedn Objectives Course Objective We aimed at investigating the impact of malaria on the haematological parameters of residents from different demographic settlements in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Malaria parasites trigger changes in certain haematological parameters, which may result in a number of clinical manifestations. Differences in demographic settlements, such as rural, peri-urban and urban settlements may also influence these changes, but this has not been extensively studied in Ghana..
