25 April 2024 Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world That is the theme of for World Malaria Day 2024 to highlight the urgent global campaign to raise in raising awareness for malaria prevention, detection and treatment services. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) global efforts to reduce malaria have stagnated in recent years. This poses a significant threat to public health and exacerbating inequalities within communities. Everyone has the right to quality, timely and affordable malaria services, yet this remains elusive for to many, perpetuating a cycle of inequity that affects the most vulnerable among us. Infants and young children, especially those under five, are particularly affected, with disparities in access to education and financial resources compounding their risk. Let us "Accelerate the fight against malaria for a more equitable world" through: - Ending discrimination and stigma - Engaging communities in health decision-making - Bringing healthcare 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 Together, let us commit to accelerating the fight against malaria, forging partnerships and implementing evidence-based strategies to achieve a more equitable world where no one is left behind in our quest to end malaria for good. #PROUDLYMISA #MISACARES #MISAONTHEMOVE #MISAFAMILY

World Mosquito Day serves as a significant reminder of the global fight against mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and chikungunya. This year’s theme, "Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria for a More Equitable World," highlights the urgent need to address disparities in healthcare access that contribute to the ongoing malaria burden. The statistics underscore the challenge: according to the WHO, malaria cases rose to 247 million in 2023, while the number of deaths, though slightly reduced, remains alarmingly high at 619,000. In Zambia, the situation is particularly concerning, with a reported 19% increase in malaria deaths—from 1,343 to 1,602. This translates to approximately 30,400 new infections daily, resulting in four deaths each day. The theme emphasizes the need to bridge gaps in access to malaria prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, particularly in underserved communities. As the world continues its efforts to eliminate malaria, the focus must be on ensuring that no one is left behind, with equitable access to healthcare as a central goal. #malaria #health #prevention #ministryofhealth #medicine

🎗️Don't Forget Malaria: Staying Vigilant on World Malaria Day‼️ Today, on World Malaria Day, Check me joins the global fight against this preventable disease. 👩🎤While our focus is on women's health, malaria remains a significant public health concern, particularly for pregnant women and children. ☹️Malaria has devastated communities worldwide. In fact, it was only in the 19th century that scientists identified the mosquito as the culprit behind malaria transmission. Today, thanks to advancements in prevention and treatment, malaria deaths have significantly declined. However, vigilance is still crucial. Malaria is not a cancer🔊🔊 While some malaria symptoms can mimic certain cancers, like fatigue and fever, it's important to remember that malaria also causes chills, headaches, muscle aches, and nausea. But just like cancers, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent complications. If you're experiencing these symptoms, especially after traveling to high-risk areas, consult a healthcare provider promptly. #WorldMalariaDay #CheckYourHealth #MalariaPrevention #StayHealthy

Do you face challenges while ensuring equitable access to malaria prevention measures and effective treatment options for at-risk populations? Malaria continues to pose a significant threat to public health. Despite substantial progress in recent years, the WHO estimates that there were over 249 million cases in 2022, exceeding estimates made before COVID-19. Climate change has indirect effects on malaria and millions of people can't access services they need to prevent, detect and treat the disease. Changing rainfall and temperature patterns can impact the behaviour and survival of the malaria-carrying anopheles mosquito and extreme weather events may lead to transmission and burden of disease. Conflict and humanitarian crises, resource constraints and biological challenges such as drug and insecticide resistance also continue to hamper progress. It is our job as HCPs to ensure equitable access to malaria prevention measures and effectively manage at-risk populations to avoid deaths due to such preventable diseases.

🌍 World Malaria Day 2024 🌍 Today, we come together to raise awareness about one of the world’s most persistent health challenges: malaria. Despite significant progress over the years, this preventable and treatable disease continues to affect millions globally, with the highest burden in sub-Saharan Africa. 🔬 Why It Matters Malaria is caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It remains a leading cause of illness and death, particularly among children under 5 and pregnant women. Every year, millions of cases are reported, and countless lives are lost that could be saved with effective interventions. 📈 Our Progress Recent years have seen tremendous strides in combating malaria through improved diagnostic tools, treatments, and preventive measures such as insecticide-treated nets and indoor spraying. However, resistance to treatment and insecticides poses a growing challenge. 💪 How We Can Make a Difference Advocate for continued funding and research to develop new tools and strategies. Support local and global initiatives aimed at malaria prevention and treatment. Educate communities about preventive measures and the importance of seeking treatment. On this World Malaria Day, let’s renew our commitment to ending malaria and ensure that we continue to work towards a world where everyone can live free from this debilitating disease. #WorldMalariaDay #EndMalaria #GlobalHealth #HealthcareAdvocacy #MalariaAwareness #PublicHealth Bharati Devi Multibase Pvt.

The fight against malaria is a battle, not a war. We open battle on symptomatic malaria only but not all forms of malaria; War. That's why malaria is with us. The World Health Organization hasn't yet pave the way on how to address people with #asymptomatic_malaria. The annual reports are based solely on self-presenting, malaria-infected symptomatic patients. The National Malaria Control programme(NMCP) also have largely neglected #asymptomatic malaria carriers, those who are more Infectious to mosquitoes than #symptomatic patients. Specifically #school_age_children_with_asymptomatic_malaria are not beneficiaries from malaria control programme. To the World Health Organization I love to remind that #symptomatic malaria is the tip of the #iceberg compared to the #asymptomatic malaria-infected population in the community. #Key message: let's pay attention to #school_age_children, #asymptomatic_malaria and targeting #schools in malaria control packages. #Ministry of Health of #Ethiopia. Let's advocate together, Let's reach out #school_age_children who are experiencing a hidden and privately sufferings from consequential malaria!! World Health Organization: at this point, we can't say "#HealthForAll"- because children are suffering from our negligence and chronic malaria. #FMoH_Ethiopia I'll never stop advocating these issues until you hear me. "Without considering #asymptomatic_malaria_infections, the road to malaria elimination will take us no where!" Abdissa Buruksaa Hordofaa

WORLD MALARIA DAY. The theme for the year is 'Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world'. According to the latest World malaria report, the estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 608,000 in 2022. According to World Health Organization, Malaria is a life-threatening disease spread to humans by the female anopheles mosquitoes. It is mostly found in tropical countries. It is preventable and curable. Those that are vulnerable to malaria include: 📌 Infants, 📌 children under 5 years, 📌 pregnant women, 📌 travellers, 📌 people with HIV or AIDS are at higher risk of severe infection. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS INCLUDE; - fever, - chills, - headache, - general feeling of discomfort, - nausea and vomiting, - diarrhea, - abdominal pain, - muscle or joint pain, - fatigue, - rapid breathing, - fast heart rate, - cough. PREVENTION; 💮 Use mosquito nets when sleeping in places where malaria is present. 💮 Use mosquito repellents (containing DEET, IR3535 or Icaridin) after dusk. 💮 Use coils and vaporizers. 💮 Wear protective clothing. 💮 Use window screens. 💮 Vector control: This aims at reducing the transmission of malaria from the female mosquitoes to human. This can be achieved by following the preventive measures. Kindly engage the post by liking, sharing and commenting.

Did you know? Over the past two decades, proper planning and execution prevented 1.7 billion Malaria cases and saved 10.6 million lives! Yesterday, #uniathena held a online webinar on this topic in which information was discussed to make it possible to achieve the "Zero Malaria Target". This webinar was very helpful for me as Dr. Omagha Rachel explained in detail about malaria, what mosquito causes it and what should be done to prevent it and how we can eliminate it completely. I didn't know before that about 240 million cases of malaria are reported in the world every year. And in 2023, 248 million cases were reported and about 0.6 million deaths were reported, which is very high. So we need urgent measures to prevent these deaths. First of all a committee team should be formed at the local level and an awareness campaign should be conducted in the same way as the campaign against polio is conducted. Similarly there is an urgent need for measures at the government level and at the same time the government should ensure the supply of malaria vaccine to the areas where malaria cases are reported. #malariaprevention #uniathena #WHO #healthawareness
