Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites (P. Falciparum, P. vivax,
P. Malariae, P. ovale, P. knowlesi) that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected
female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is preventable and curable. In2019, there were an estimated 229
million cases of malaria worldwide. The estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 409000 in
2019. Children aged under 5years are the most vulnerable group affected by malaria; in2019, they
accounted for 67% (274 000) of all malaria deaths worldwide. The WHO African Region carries a
disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2019, the region was epicenter
for 94% of malaria cases and deaths.
