Every year, 781,000 lives are still lost due to malaria. Every 45 seconds, a child dies of malaria1. Yet malaria is a preventable and treatable disease. Malaria morbidity and mortality can be decreased when global and national malaria control partners stand together with peoples and communities at risk and empower them with knowledge and with the available and effective malaria control tools. Forty-three countries around the world, including 11 in sub-Saharan Africa, have already shown that this is possible by
decreasing malaria cases by more than 50% since 2000.
