Coordinated by the WHO and partners, the World Malaria Day (April 25. 2021) was observed to urge 'all nations that are working to stamp out this deadly disease ( of malaria) and improve the health and livelihoods of their populations.'


"In the face of a dual threat of antimalarial drug resistance and COVID-19, countries of the Greater Mekong subregion have also made major strides towards their shared goal of elimination by 2030. In the 6 countries of the subregion, the reported number of malaria cases fell by 97% between 2000 and 2020. Malaria deaths were reduced by more than 99% in the same period of time," stated the WHO.


Here. in the inset picture, I reproduce my last year's write up which is valid for this year too due to the second wave of COVID pandemic in India.
