World Malaria Day<\/strong>\u00a0(WMD<\/strong>) is an international observance\u00a0commemorated every year on 25 April and recognises global efforts to control malaria. World Malaria Day, which was first held in 2008, developed from Africa Malaria Day, an event that had been observed since 2001 by African governments.<\/p>\n

Globally, 3.3 billion people in 106 countries are at risk of malaria.  <\/sup>(World Health Organization, World Malaria Report 2010<\/em>.<\/a>) In 2012, malaria caused an estimated 627,000 deaths, mostly among African children. ( <\/sup>World Health Organization, WHO Fact sheet<\/a> N\u00b094, updated March 2014. Accessed 8 April 2014)  Asia, Latin America and to a lesser extent the Middle East and parts of Europe are also affected. However, malaria is preventable with the use of medicines and other precautionary measures, such as insecticide  -treated bed nets and indoor insecticide spraying.
