Malaria - What You Got for Today?
In 2006, WHO estimated that there were 216 million cases of malaria worldwide and 455,000 deaths. By 2015, that number had dropped to 187 million. That's a 40% reduction and it took 15 years for that 40% decline. Almost 90% of these cases and 91% of the deaths happen in Africa. This is larger than the population of the town I grew up in were children under the age of five for a disease that has a cure and prevention or preventative drugs.
