It is to mention that approximately half of the world's population is at risk of malaria, particularly those living in lower-income countries.
It infects more than 500 million people per year and kills more than 1 million. The burden of malaria is heaviest in sub-Saharan Africa but the disease also afflicts Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and even parts of Europe.
World Malaria Day was instituted by the World Health Assembly at its 60th session in May 2007 for recognizing the global effort to provide effective control of malaria.
