| Abstract | In Nigeria, there is a higher level of malaria prevalence in terms of under-five mortality which depicts a declining health outcome. Though, of recent, there has been an increased health spending nationally, partly due to the need to meet a subset of the Nigeria Vision 20:2020 and millennium development goals (MDGs) goal six which is malaria reduction in order to attain better health outcome and economic growth. This study adopted a time series econometric approach with a scope covering 1970 to 2013 in the investigation malaria impacts on health outcome in Nigeria. The study illustrated the relationship between health outcome and malaria prevalence in Nigeria. This paper revealed that malaria cases impact on under-five mortality, and the degree of this impact determines the effect of malaria prevalence on health outcome in Nigeria, which are of course low life expectancy and reduction in active labour force. The study suggests that if greater resources are available for malaria control, a high health outcome through successful malaria reduction will be recorded before the end of 2015 in Nigeria. |
