World Malaria Day 2024

The fight against malaria is one of humanity’s most significant public health successes. Great progress was made in malaria control over the last two decades, resulting in a reduction in overall cases and deaths. But after years of steady declines, malaria cases and deaths are on the rise. Today, a child dies of malaria every minute.

Conflict, climate change and increasing resistance to insecticides are jeopardizing the significant gains that the Global Fund partnership has fought to achieve over the last two decades. With the knowledge of these obstacles comes the power to defeat them. Fighting back with a combination of new tools and targeted prevention, testing and treatment methods is the way to accelerate progress to end malaria for good.

More than ever before, we must support countries in their efforts to revitalize and sustain the fight against malaria.

World Malaria Day 2024: Together, We Can End Malaria

Malaria is a rapidly evolving health threat that kills one child every minute.

Climate change and insecticide resistance pose new threats for people most at risk and new challenges for those fighting the disease.

But we know what works: Combining new and proven tools, including dual insecticide-treated mosquito nets, prevention medication for pregnant women and children, vaccines, community-based testing and treatment and strong health systems that can fight malaria and future health threats.

The Global Fund has invested nearly US$18 billion to fight malaria, saving more than 10 million lives.
