Despite being preventable and treatable, malaria is the world’s most deadly parasitic disease, killing hundreds of thousands of people and infecting over 200 million more every year. Seventy percent of all related deaths are children under five years of age.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are focused on improving malaria prevention and treatment. We are planning in advance for malaria seasons for people living in some of the most high-risk, hard-to-reach parts of the world.

MSF is training and equipping community health workers with supplies to test for and treat malaria. We have decentralized simple malaria care so our teams can continue to care for people while they are on the move due to ongoing conflict.

MSF staff travel to remote villages and regions that have been isolated because of armed conflict, using mobile clinics to test for and treat malaria and transfer severely sick people to hospitals.

Malaria is highly seasonal in Mali, Chad, and several nearby countries. MSF has implemented a strategy to combat predictable yearly spikes in malaria infections by distributing anti-malarial medications to children during the rainy season. Now, we give preventive antimalarials to over five million children.
