In which month is Malaria Day?

World Malaria Day is held on April 26 every year.

April 25, 2008 was the first World Malaria Day, with the theme "Malaria - a disease without borders." The Ministry of Health, based on the actual situation in my country, decided to use April 26 every year as "National Malaria Day". Malaria Day”. World Malaria Day is established to celebrate global efforts to effectively control malaria.

Malaria is a blood parasitic disease infected by the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes (also known as Anopheles mosquitoes). It is usually also called "cold and fever disease", "swing" and "malaria". The onset of symptoms usually occurs 10 to 20 days after being bitten. Symptoms such as fatigue, discomfort, and anorexia are often present before the onset of the disease. The disease will go through four stages: chill period, fever period, sweating period and intermittent period. Tropical areas such as Africa and Southeast Asia are areas with high incidence of malaria.

According to the World Health Organization, about 40% of the world's population is threatened by malaria. 350 million to 500 million people are infected with malaria every year, 1.1 million people die from malaria, and 3,000 children die from malaria every day. For about one in two people worldwide, malaria remains one of the most serious threats to public health.
