The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched the 2022 edition of its annual World Malaria Report, emphasising the cumulative impacts the prolonged pandemic continued to weigh on the economies and health systems of malaria-endemic countries across the globe.
As per the report, there were an estimated 247 million malaria cases recorded in 2021 in 84 malaria-endemic countries.
Over the past two decades, the WHO South-East Asia Region displayed a reducing trend in both malaria cases and associated deaths – cases reduced by 76 per cent, from 22.8 million in 2000 to about 5.4 million in 2021.
About 95 percent of the world’s malaria infections and deaths last year were in Africa. And just four countries – Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger and Tanzania – accounted for more than half of all malaria deaths.
