Malaria is highly endemic in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including Nigeria. In view of this, the prevalence of malaria in Katcha community of Nupeland, was studied. The data presented were collated from Munawwarat Hospital. A total of 6,193 registered cases were treated. The medical cases were registered between January, 2000 and December, 2004 and malaria cases were identified using clinical signs and microscopy.

Out of 6,193 treated medical cases, 3,014 (48.7%) had suffered from malaria and 3,179 (51.3%) had suffered from other medical cases.
