'Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite': WHO Calls to Boost Efforts to Fight Malaria

"With strong political commitment, sustained investment, multisectoral action and community engagement, malaria can be defeated," the WHO said on World Malaria Day, observed annually on April 25.

The WHO warned that 2025 funding cuts could derail progress in endemic countries, endangering millions. Over half of 64 WHO Country Offices in malaria-affected regions reported significant disruptions to services.
Over 2 billion cases of malaria and nearly 13 million deaths have been prevented since 2000, but the disease claimed 600,000 lives in 2023 alone, the organization noted.
