  • Description:
    \This past year was one of the most challenging in our recent history as the global community continued to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 greatly impacted malaria control efforts by disrupting supply chains for antimalarial medicines, overburdening and infecting health workers, and making communities unable or fearful of seeking needed testing and treatment.

    In 2020, there were an estimated 14 million more malaria cases and 69,000 more deaths than in 2019. Two-thirds of the additional deaths (47,000 people) were due to COVID-19 disruptions.

    At the same time, countries with strong malaria programs fared well even under the toughest circumstances of the pandemic and in some cases during conflict, war, and displacement. This past year showed that malaria activities helped strengthen public health capacity, including lab capacity, supply chains, distribution systems, and disease surveillance systems.

    We can take two key lessons from these recent experiences. Malaria, one of the world’s first pandemics, will resurge—and quickly—if we do not keep up our efforts. Second, and more importantly, our approaches work, even when facing immense challenges, and we can do more and come back even stronger.
