Each year World Malaria Day highlights the global efforts to control malaria. Invaluable progress has been made, saving millions of lives. However, The World Malaria Report 2018 documents that there was an estimated 219 million cases of malaria and 435,000 deaths from malaria worldwide in 2017.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) and its partners call for greater investment in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malaria and have set the following targets for 2020:
• elimination of malaria in at least 10 countries that were malaria endemic in 2015
• malaria mortality rates and incidence are reduced by at least 40% compared with 2015
• malaria does not re-emerge in countries that were malaria-free in 2015
Information about malaria and its prevention can be found on the Travax malaria pages
