World Malaria Day 2021: Draw The Line Against Malaria

On World Malaria Day (25 April 2021) WHO is calling for increased political commitment and investment in malaria prevention and control to reach the “Zero Malaria” target by urging:

Individuals in endemic countries to draw the line against malaria by getting tested for both malaria and COVID-19 in the case of fever and to seek treatment.

Policy-makers in endemic countries to draw the line against malaria by increasing coverage of malaria prevention and treatment interventions as part of efforts to achieve universal health coverage.

Regional donors to draw the line against malaria by scaling up efforts to fight malaria and other vector-borne diseases and addressing the funding gap of 45% in malaria-endemic countries in the Region.
