Report on Malaria

World Malaria Day, 25 April 2013

But we are not there yet. Malaria still kills an estimated 660 000 people worldwide, mainly children under five years of age in sub-Saharan Africa. Every year, more than 200 million cases occur; most of these cases are never tested or registered. A recent plateauing of international funding has slowed down progress, and emerging drug and insecticide resistance threaten to reverse recent gains.

The theme for 2013 and the coming years is: Invest in the future. Defeat malaria.

Key facts

• Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
• In 2010, malaria caused an estimated 660 000 deaths (with an uncertainty range of 490 000 to 836 000), mostly among African children.
• Malaria is preventable and curable.
• Increased malaria prevention and control measures are dramatically reducing the malaria burden in many places.
• Non-immune travellers from malaria-free areas are very vulnerable to the disease when they get infected.

Fact sheet on the World Malaria Report 2012

• Malaria is a preventable and treatable mosquito-borne disease, whose main victims are children under five years of age in Africa.
  The World Malaria Report 2012 summarizes data received from 104 malaria-endemic countries and territories for 2011. Ninety-nine of these countries had on-going malaria transmission.
  According to the latest WHO estimates, there were about 219 million cases of malaria in 2010 and an estimated 660 000 deaths. Africa is the most affected continent: about 90% of all malaria deaths occur there.
  Between 2000 and 2010, malaria mortality rates fell by 26% around the world. In the WHO African Region the decrease was 33%. During this period, an estimated 1.1 million malaria deaths were averted globally, primarily as a result of a scale-up of interventions.
  
  
  
  HIGHLETS :
  1. Total no of cases estimated to occur around the world each year is 219 million.
  2. Total no of deaths taking place all over the world mostly children under 5 years is 6,60,000.
  3. Highest burden countries of Malaria deaths globally occur in the 10 highest burden countries is 68%.
