🙌✨In 2024 alone, new malaria tools helped prevent 170 million cases and save 1 million lives.
👶🏾🛡️Thanks to vaccines now used in 24 countries and expanded protection for children, 54 million kids received seasonal malaria prevention—up from just 200,000 in 2012.
🎉 Progress continues: 47 countries + 1 territory are malaria-free (including Cabo Verde, Egypt, Georgia, Suriname and Timor-Leste).
😔 But malaria is still deadly: 282 million cases and 610,000 deaths in 2024, mostly among children under 5 in Africa.
Drug resistance is growing, funding is shrinking, and climate change is expanding mosquito risk zones.
*What you can do:*
✅ Sleep under treated mosquito nets
✅ Get children vaccinated where available
✅ Seek care early when fever occurs
✅ Support awareness and community action
Together, we can push for a malaria-free future.
This year’s report provides a critical and up-to-date snapshot of efforts to control and eliminate malaria across 80 countries. The report also presents the threat posed by antimalarial resistance and its impact.
