About World Malaria Day
World Malaria Day is on April 25. On this day – a day to mark the fight against this killer disease – people across the globe take part in a wide range of activities. But, for half the world, every day is malaria day.
The World Malaria Day theme, “End malaria for good” provides a common platform for countries to showcase their successes in malaria control and unify diverse initiatives in the changing global context. Malaria-endemic countries have made incredible gains in the last decade, but sustaining them will take extra efforts until the job is finished and malaria is eliminated worldwide. More information on the campaign Goodbye Malaria is available at www.goodbyemalaria.com.
