World Malaria Day is celebrated every year to spread mindful awareness among people about a hazardous disease called Malaria. The World Health Organization (WHO) plays a crucial role in implementing real-life techniques to take control of the illness.

However, resources are to be made available as funding is essential through which the problem can be tackled. This year also the main focus is on eliminating malaria cases and providing protection to the susceptible ones. 

World Malaria Day 2023 Theme

For the current year 2023, World Malaria Day’s theme is “Time to deliver zero malaria: invest, innovate, implement” as decided by the UN Agency, WHO highly aims to lift awareness about the urgent need to execute the useful tools and strategies that are available in present times. It is for those who are out of reach across the Western Pacific. 

Several Challenges

The Western Pacific region faces continuous challenges regarding malaria elimination. The disease is often found in remote areas or among highly unapproachable populations. About 90 per cent of malaria cases are recorded every year across Africa. 

As per the data, 70% of malaria deaths have been reported in many areas due to delayed treatment and  Plasmodium falciparum is the most common variety out of all. Other major difficulties include reaching methods in remote populations located in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

WHO is putting efforts with countries and areas in the specific region to build and implement strong strategies like fever screening and treatment, targeted drug administration and rapid response to all malaria cases.
