Why is Malaria a Significant Public Health Concern?
Malaria remains one of the most critical public health challenges, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and parts of Latin America. It causes significant morbidity and mortality, especially among children under five years old and pregnant women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 229 million cases of malaria and 409,000 deaths in 2019. Effective malaria control and prevention strategies are crucial to reducing this burden.
