Popis: Objective: The WHO Malaria Report 2019 stated that “globally, the burden of malaria was lower than ten years ago, but, in the last few years, there has been an increase in the number of malaria cases around the world”. This study reported changes in malaria cases and deaths at the Togo national level (2008–2017) and presented anti-malaria fight results and eradication chances by 2030 in Togo. Methods: Cases and deaths were collected from medical records, monthly reports, and notes of 6000 health workers; then summarized by Region, District, year, and specific subpopulations. Estimates of annual trends of numbers of cases and deaths were obtained through generalized linear models. Results: The number of cases increased by four times, whereas the population increased by 1.3 times (2008–2017).
