Malaria is a disease that attacks humans, birds, apes and other primates, reptiles and rodents, which is caused by protozoan infections of the genus Plasmodium and is easily recognized from the symptoms of fever (chills) and prolonged fever. Until now, Indonesia is still one of the countries at risk of Malaria because 80% of districts/cities in Indonesia are Malaria-endemic. The objective to be achieved in this study is to see a description of the incidence of Malaria in Denemani health centre based on the characteristics of the patient's age, sex of the patient, occupation and place of residence of the patient. The study design was a descriptive study obtained by a sample of 642 respondents. The results showed that there were more Malaria sufferers at the age of 24-35 years as many as 264 patients (41.1%), more Malaria sufferers in the female sex as many as 323 people (50.3%), Malaria sufferers more in patients who were work as private employees, 410 people (63.9%). More Malaria sufferers found living in urban areas, amounting to 447 patients (69.6%). Based on these conclusions it is suggested to the relevant parties that seeing the problems in the Public Health Center in Denemani, especially in adult polyclinics, it does not rule out the possibility that the number of Malaria sufferers will increase every day.
