Today’s 2024 World Malaria Report from the WHO paints a mixed picture of progress in the fight against malaria. While advancements in science and innovation - including next generation bed nets and vaccines - are saving lives, rising malaria cases and funding gaps threaten to stall decades of progress.

Deaths from malaria are down

There is much to be proud of. The report shows that global malaria mortality rate has declined to one of the lowest recorded, dropping from 14.9 deaths per 100,000 in 2022 to 13.7 in 2023. Malaria deaths also fell by 0.5% to 597,000, the lowest number since before the COVID-19 pandemic. New innovations are helping deliver critical protection to children under five - who still account for nearly three-quarters of all malaria deaths globally.

Rising cases signal a warning

Despite these advances, malaria cases increased to 263 million in 2023, the highest on record. This troubling trend highlights the ongoing challenges posed by fragile health systems, growing resistance to drugs and insecticides, and the impact of extreme weather and humanitarian crises.

The importance of innovation

The report highlights the significant role of global investment in malaria research and development, including advances in malaria vaccines. In 2023, funding for malaria R&D reached $49 million, reflecting record-breaking investment that underscores the importance of continued innovation in the fight against malaria.

A call for urgent action

The report reveals that malaria funding remains far short of the $8.3 billion target needed to meet global malaria goals, with only $4 billion received. If we are to get back on track we need to increase funding rapidly to accelerate efforts and reverse the rising number of cases.
