Malaria is a disease that has been prevalent for a long time and continues to affect millions of people on a daily basis.
World Malaria Day 2022: Date
Each year on April 25, World Malaria Day is commemorated to raise global awareness of malaria. Malaria has a terrible effect on individuals, families, communities, and nations. It’s a disease that can be prevented and treated, yet it’s wreaking havoc on individuals’ health and livelihoods all over the world. The WHO is playing a significant role by urging new vector control measures to be funded and innovated. This might improve the diagnosis of malaria, the production of additional anti-malarial medications, and the development of equipment to accelerate malaria research.
World Malaria Day 2022: Theme
This year’s malaria day theme is “Harness Innovation to Reduce Malaria Disease Burden and Save Lives.”

World Malaria Day 2022: Significance
World Malaria Day, as well as ongoing awareness and preventive measures, along with campaigning for more support from the government, must continue and grow in order to eradicate the disease and prevent mortality from it.
