Malaria Is Still Endemic In 83 Countries<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Significant\u00a0progress has been made<\/a>\u00a0in the fight against malaria over the last two decades. <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a new\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0by the World Health Organization, there were 83 countries in which the disease was still endemic in 2023, down from a total of 108 endemic countries in the year 2000. Between 2022 and 2023, the number of malaria endemic countries decreased from 85 to 83 as a result of Timor-Leste and Saudi Arabia maintaining zero indigenous cases for three consecutive years.<\/p>\n

The number of deaths have fallen too since the turn of the century, with the WHO estimating the toll at 597,000 last year compared to 897,000 in 2000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But, as Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports,<\/a> there is still a significant amount of work to be done.<\/p>\n

Cases were up again last year, rising from 249 million in 2022 to 263 million in 2023.<\/p>\n

Of these, the highest numbers occurred in Nigeria (68,136,000) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (33,141,000). <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the report, the WHO African Region continues to carry the heaviest burden of mortality, accounting for 95 percent of estimated global malaria deaths.<\/p>\n

The WHO South-East Asia Region had eight malaria endemic countries in 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n

India reported more than two million cases last year, accounting for half of all cases in the region. It was followed by Indonesia, which had nearly 1.1 million cases.<\/p>\n

Malaria deaths fell from about 35,000 in 2000 to 6,000 in the South-East Region in 2023 – a drop of 82.9 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
