25 April is World Malaria Day; Accelerate the fight against malaria for a more equitable world World Malaria Day is an occasion to highlight the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control. ▪︎ 249 million new cases of malaria in 2022 ▪︎ More than 3.4 million suspected cases of malaria were reported in Pakistan compared with the 2.6 million suspected cases reported in 2021. Everyone has the right to quality, timely, and affordable services to prevent, detect, and treat malaria, yet this is not a reality for all. Infants and young children continue to suffer the greatest mortality; in 2022, an estimated 4 out of 5 malaria-related deaths in the African Region were among children under 5 years of age. Inequities in access to education and financial resources further exacerbates risk. Pregnancy reduces a woman’s immunity to malaria, making her more susceptible to infection and increasing her risk of severe disease and death. On World Malaria Day, let’s “Accelerate the fight against malaria for a more equitable world” through: •Ending discrimination and stigma •Engaging communities in health decision-making •Bringing health care close to where people live and work through primary health care •Addressing factors that increase malaria risk •Including malaria control interventions in universal health coverage #MalariaDay #healthcare #WHO #Pakistan #getzpharma #unicef #prevention
