Abstract: Despite the strong commitment of health authorities to the elimination of malaria, this infectious disease is still responsible for high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In Gabon it continues to be a public health burden. The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of malaria among patients at the Sino-Gabonese Friendship Hospital in Franceville, in the southeast of the country. Methods: A retrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted in a hospital setting, based on the results of microscopic examinations of thickened drops, recorded in the registers of the medical analysis laboratory of the Sino-Gabonese Friendship Hospital in Franceville, from June 2019 to May 2021.
