For  many  years,  the  global  response  to  malaria  was  considered  one  of  the  world's  great  public   health achievements. WHO reported time and again on the massive roll-out of effective disease- cutting tools, and on impressive reductions in cases and deaths. Last December, we noted a troubling shift in the trajectory of this disease. The data showed that less than half of countries with ongoing transmission were on track to reach critical targets for reductions in the death and disease caused by malaria. Progress appeared to have stalled. The World malaria report 2017 shows that this worrying trend continues. Although there are some bright spots in the data, the overall decline in the global malaria burden has unquestionably leveled off. And, in some countries and regions, we are beginning to see reversals in the gains achieved.
