Overview
According to the World Health Organization’s World Malaria Report 2012, 50 countries around the world are on track to reduce their malaria case incidence rates by 75 per cent by 2015. While progress has been made, Dr. Robert Newman, Director of the WHO Global Malaria Programme in Geneva, says, “Global targets for reducing the malaria burden will not be reached unless progress is accelerated in the highest burden countries,” such as in India and countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Fourteen endemic countries account for an estimated 80 per cent of malaria deaths. The World Malaria Report 2012 also indicates that a slowdown in international funding for fighting malaria may impact progress made towards the health-related targets of the MDGs.
