Every year on April 25, World Malaria Day is celebrated which was organized by the WHO (World Health Organization) to recognize global efforts to control the disease. The day was established by the World Health Assembly's 60th session in April 2007 (World Health Assembly is WHO's decision-making body). The objective was to provide education and understanding of the disease and to spread information on strategies, prevention and treatment.
On World Malaria Day 2020, WHO combines the RBM Partnership to eradicate Malaria promoting “Zero malaria starts with me".Later this became the theme of this organization. It is a movement dedicated to driving action and making change, and this starts with YOU! Through country collective leadership and collective action, suffering and death from malaria can be reduced. The number of malaria-related deaths fell by 40% worldwide between 2000 to 2014, from an estimated 743 000 to 446 000. So, for this urgent action is needed to get back on track.
We all have to end malaria within a generation and urge leaders to step up the fight and get us closer to a malaria-free world. This year COVID-19 is threatening that progress and now more than ever we need to call on leaders to act.
