Malaria Day is a day set aside to raise awareness about malaria, a mosquito-borne disease that affects millions of people around the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria Day is observed annually on April 25th to coincide with the anniversary of the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO).
The day provides an opportunity to highlight the global effort to control and eliminate malaria, as well as to educate people about the disease and its prevention. The theme for Malaria Day 2023 is "Zero Malaria - Draw the Line Against Malaria," which aims to accelerate efforts to achieve the global target of zero malaria deaths by 2030.
Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease, yet it continues to be a major public health problem in many parts of the world. Malaria Day serves as a reminder that we must remain committed to the fight against malaria and work towards eliminating the disease once and for all.
