Malaria is one of the most severe public health problems worldwide. It is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries, where young children and pregnant women are the groups most affected. Malaria is not simply a health crisis, or a humanitarian crisis agravated by conflicts, extreme weather conditions, and financial gaps (Economic implications).

According to the 2025 World Malaria Report
