Malaria infection rates in Ethiopia have surged to over 6.1 million cases this year, largely due to armed conflict, climate change, and increasing resistance of parasites and mosquitoes.
Dr. Fitsum Tadesse highlights the alarming situation, asserting, 'We're backsliding so fast we've gone back a decade,' as the peak malaria season intensifies vulnerability.
The rise in malaria cases may signal a looming crisis for neighboring countries, as similar biological factors and the impacts of war and climate change exacerbate the spread of disease.
Growing resistance to treatments and insecticides among malaria-carrying mosquitoes raises concerns, with the parasites increasingly evading drug efficacy and diagnostic tests, complicating control efforts.
