“ZERO #MALARIA STARTS WITH ME” Today is World Malaria Day 2020 - 25th April . In 2018, nearly half of the world's population was at risk of malaria. Most malaria cases and deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the WHO regions of South-East Asia, Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacific, and the Americas are also at risk. Some population groups are at considerably higher risk of contracting malaria, and developing severe disease, than others. These include infants, children under 5 years of age, pregnant women and patients with HIV/AIDS, as well as non-immune migrants, mobile populations and travellers. National malaria control programmes need to take special measures to protect these population groups from malaria infection, taking into consideration their specific circumstances . Urgent action is needed to get back on track, and ownership of the challenge lies in the hands of countries most affected by malaria. The “Zero malaria” campaign engages all members of society: political leaders who control government policy decisions and budgets; private sector companies that will benefit from a malaria-free workforce; and communities affected by malaria, whose buy-in and ownership of malaria control interventions is critical to success.

“ZERO #MALARIA STARTS WITH ME” Today is World Malaria Day 2020 - 25th April According to the latest World malaria report, released in December 2019, there were 228 million cases of malaria in 2018 compared to 231  million cases in 2017. The estimated number of malaria deaths stood at 405 000 in 2018, compared with 416 000 deaths in 2017. The @WHO African Region continues to carry a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2018, the region was home to 93% of malaria cases and 94% of malaria deaths. In 2018, 6 countries accounted for more than half of all malaria cases worldwide: Nigeria (25%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (12%), Uganda (5%), and Côte d’Ivoire, Mozambique and Niger (4% each). Children under 5 years of age are the most vulnerable group affected by malaria; in 2018, they accounted for 67% (272 000) of all malaria deaths worldwide .

#worldmalariaday2020 #worldmalariaday #zeromalariastartswithme On World Malaria Day 2020, WHO joins the RBM Partnership to End Malaria in promoting “Zero malaria starts with me”, a grassroots campaign that aims to keep malaria high on the political agenda, mobilize additional resources, and empower communities to take ownership of malaria prevention and care. We know that through country leadership and collective action, we can radically reduce suffering and death from malaria. Between 2000 and 2014, the number of malaria-related deaths fell by 40% worldwide, from an estimated 743 000 to 446 000. But in recent years, progress has ground to a standstill. According to WHO's World malaria report 2019, there were no global gains in reducing new infections over the period 2014 to 2018. And nearly as many people died from malaria in 2018 as the year before. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aGFLnlTI_/?igshid=1fbxzpptug2dj

World Malaria Day is an international observance day marked every year on 25 April and recognizes global efforts to control malaria. Globally, 3.3 billion people in 106 countries are at risk of malaria. In 2012, malaria caused an estimated 627,000 deaths, mostly among African children. Asia, Latin America, and to a lesser extent the Middle East and parts of Europe are also affected. The theme for the 2020 World Malaria Day is ‘Zero Malaria Starts with Me’. World Malaria Day is meant to empower individuals across the world to make a personal commitment to saving millions of more lives and help communities and economies to thrive by ending malaria. Malaria is a preventable and treatable infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes that kills more than one million people each year, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa, where malaria is the leading cause of death for children under five. Because malaria is a global emergency that affects mostly poor women and children, malaria perpetuates a vicious cycle of poverty in the developing world. Malaria related illnesses and mortality cost Africa’s economy alone USD 12 billion per year. However, by 2020, global estimates indicate that USD 6.4 billion would be needed each year to fully fund the fight against malaria. The WHO estimates that in 2018, there were 228 million cases of malaria in 89 countries, with 405,000 resulting deaths. No significant gains were made in reducing malaria cases from 2014 to 2018. As of April 21, 2020 globally 2.2 million SARS-CoV-2 cases and 170,000 COVID-19-related deaths have been reported. The COVID-19 pandemic is causing morbidity, mortality, anxiety, and an economic free-fall that has never been seen before. It is difficult to predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on malaria research and prevention. Over the last weeks, several critical uncertainties have been identified. On World Malaria Day, EWEI is making a call on everyone to be accountable and take responsibility in the fight against malaria. No matter where we live, no one should die from a mosquito bite. “Zero Malaria Starts with Me” @rbmpartnership @who @sfhnigeria #worldmalariaday #worldmalariaday2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Zk43UApo_/?igshid=tr73b2o0pgz6

Only the female Anopheles mosquito can transmit malaria. After the mosquito bites, it usually takes 10 days to 4 weeks to display symtoms of malaria. #WorldMalariaDay #WorldMalariaDay2020 #Malaria #EndMalaria #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #SaturdayThoughts #SaturdayMotivation #StayAtHomeSaveLives #StayHome #StayHealthy #2019nCoV #CoronavirusOutbreak #SwasthaBharat #HealthForAll #onlinepharmacy #Medicines #OnlineMedicines #WeKnowYourValue #Health #healthcare #healthcareIndia #1tab #1tabshipmed
