the most cases of the deadly disease, which is spread
by editor-in-chief Nicky Cox
Last year there were 214 million new cases of malaria
worldwide. Of those, 438,000 people died, many of
them children.
But we can prevent malaria and cure it, so the theme of
World Malaria Day 2016 is ‘End Malaria For Good.’
Experts think it is possible because, although the number
of people getting malaria is still very high, it is going down.
In 2015, for the first time, nobody caught malaria in Europe.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says 21 countries
outside Europe could also be free of malaria by 2020. This
includes six countries in Africa, the continent that suffers
by mosquitoes.
In Africa, malaria still kills a child every minute. But the
better news is that we’re beginning to beat the disease. The
number of deaths has fallen by 60% since 2000, meaning
more than six million lives have been saved.
The success is down to better tests and drugs and the use
of insecticides and mosquito bed nets to stop people being
bitten at night.
Getting rid of malaria completely will not be easy. Nearly
half of the world – that’s 3.2 billion people – remain at risk
of the disease. But the WHO says we are getting closer.
Scientists say there could even be a vaccine on the way.
