World Malaria Day, observed globally annually on 25th April serves to emphasize the importance of ongoing investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control.
On World Malaria Day 2024, the RBM Partnership to End Malaria highlights malaria's heavy toll on women and girls, impacting their health, roles, and economic outcomes. Malaria perpetuates inequality and hinders Universal Health Coverage.
A gender-focused approach is vital, focusing resources and targeted interventions in vulnerable areas. Focus areas include addressing gender disparities, improving pregnancy-related prevention, and promoting inclusive health systems. Community engagement ensures equitable access to malaria prevention and treatment interventions..
Let's recommit to women and girls' well-being, pursuing equity in the fight against malaria.

Today is #WorldMalariaDay! Join us in the fight for Universal Health Coverage, ensuring access to malaria prevention, detection, and treatment services for all, and let's #acceleratethefight to #endmalaria for a more equitable world.
Women and girls face higher risks of malaria infection due to obstacles in accessing healthcare services and information, along with limited decision-making power, hindering the ability to treat, detect and prevent the disease. It is essential that we confront these disparities and guarantee equitable universal health coverage. #WorldMalariaDay.
Mothers are particularly vulnerable. Malaria in pregnancy poses a lethal threat, with 10,000 maternal deaths each year. The time is now to #AccelerateTheFight, aiming for improved health outcomes for both mothers and newborns globally #WorldMalariaDay.
In 2022 alone, the World Health Organization reported a staggering 249M malaria cases and over 600,000 deaths. This disease's profound impact touches millions globally, with the WHO Africa region bearing the heaviest burden. No one should be left behind; access to quality and affordable health care should not be influenced by your gender, financial, or geographical status. #AccelerateTheFight
