World Malaria Day is observed every year on April 25 to raise awareness about one of the world's deadliest yet preventable diseases.
The theme for 2025 is “Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite.”
World Malaria Day was launched by WHO in 2007, evolving from Africa Malaria Day, which started in 2001 to combat malaria in Africa.
World Malaria Day raises awareness about malaria and honours efforts toward its elimination. It emphasises prevention, treatment, and global cooperation.
Sleep under insecticide-treated mosquito nets to avoid bites.
Use repellent with DEET, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil. Reapply after sweating or washing.
Wearing light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and pants helps prevent bites, especially at dusk and dawn.
Eliminate stagnant water around your home to reduce mosquito breeding.
Ensure windows and doors are fitted with screens to keep mosquitoes out.
