Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
- Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.
- Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.
- Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.
- Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.
