Dear all,
Welcome.
Welcome.
Today is World Malaria Day. It was firstly celebrated on April 25, 2008. UNICEF had decided to bring in awareness about spread of Malaria. WHO believes that due to Malaria Control Programme being run across the world, many lives could have been saved.
Efforts in this direction had been lauded & various initiatives had been taken on this day. Malaria had been an epidemic especially in developing countries. It is to note that many lakhs of people die due to it. It is caused due to biting of Anopheles mosquito thereby spreading protozuan plasmodium. UNICEF had stated that African countries have to take various measures for curbing malaria & deaths caused due to it. It could be controlled through global efforts.
Earlier, this day was used to celebrate African Malaria day. Now it had been given a global outlook. As per WHO statistics, around 50 crore people are affected every year out of which around 27 lakhs die. Also, more than half of them are children aged less than five years.
