In 2023, malaria led to almost 600,000 deaths with 263 million cases worldwide, the majority concentrated in Africa, highlighting urgent global health challenges.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized the preventability of malaria deaths, particularly in Africa, stressing the need for expanded resources and improved healthcare access.
A $4.3 billion annual funding shortfall severely limits malaria control efforts, especially in African nations which need more investment for preventative tools and resources.
Only 50% of individuals at risk in sub-Saharan Africa utilized insecticide-treated nets, revealing significant gaps in malaria prevention measures among vulnerable populations.
