Malaria is no longer just a public health concern

Health experts say Malaria is no longer just a public health concern but an escalating economic threat.

They say despite years of intervention, malaria continues to tighten its grip on Africa.

Africa bears the world’s heaviest malaria burden, with 94% of cases and 95% of deaths.

The figures signals not just a stalled fight, but a crisis at risk of being normalised.

As countries mark World Malaria Day on April 25, Doctor Chris van Straten, Global Health Advisor, has called on businesses to self-assess their commitment and efforts towards addressing malaria in the workplace.
