A health expert, Dr. Theophilus Motayo, has announced that there are 300 million new cases of malaria every year, with 2-3 million deaths globally. He also stated that Africa is the worst hit by malaria, accounting for 90% of the global incidence. In Nigeria, malaria is the most important cause of morbidity and mortality, responsible for 41% of morbidity and 30% of mortality in the under-five age group. The theme of this year's Africa Malaria Day is "A Malaria-Free Future," which aims to achieve universal access to rapid, affordable, and adequate treatment.
