Sunday, 25 April, marks World Malaria Day, and to support ongoing efforts to highlight the need for malaria control and prevention, the Kingsley Holgate Foundation (KHF) has made a call for governments, health-care workers, and citizens of Africa, to not forget the scourge of this disease amidst the focus on the Covid-19 pandemic.
As the pandemic continues to dominate the health and political agendas in many countries around the world, so its devastating impact on other diseases becomes increasingly apparent. Malaria is one of these.
Over 90 percent of malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, the majority – more than 265,000 – in children under the age of five.
