World Malaria Report
This report was released by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Nineteen countries in sub-Saharan Africa and India accounted for 85% of the global malaria burden in 2018.
While Africa and India saw the maximum dip in malaria cases between 2017 and 2018, they still accounted for 85% deaths.
India also has one of the lowest funding per person at risk of being inflicted with malaria at just US$0.2.
Despite being the highest burden country in the South-East Asia region, India showed a reduction in reported cases of 51% compared to 2017.
In the South-East Asia region, the major challenges remain decreased funding, treatment failures and vector resistance to pyrethroids, the insectides used against the vectors.
WHO says more and more countries are on the verge of eliminating malaria.
