The World Malaria Day (April 25): Instituted by the World Health Organization & Member States during the World Health Assembly of 2007; An occasion to highlight the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control; An opportunity for countries in affected regions to learn from each other's experiences and support each other's efforts; for new donors to join a global partnership against malaria; for research
and academic institutions to flag scientific advances
to both experts and the general public and; for international
partners,
companies and foundations to showcase
their efforts and reflect
on
how to further scale up interventions.
Malaria is a treatable &
preventable disease, yet affects >200
million people and kills >600,000 of them every year.
