World Malaria Day 2021
World Malaria Day is observed annually on 25 April, to bring global attention to the efforts being made to bring an end to malaria, and encourage action to reduce suffering and death from the disease. This year, WHO and partners will mark World Malaria Day by celebrating the achievements of countries that are approaching and achieving malaria elimination.
World Malaria Day 2021 will build on the ‘Zero Malaria Starts with Me’ movement and the ‘Draw the Line Against Malaria’ youth focused campaign. The theme, Zero Malaria - Draw the Line Against Malaria, will explore and connect malaria elimination and malaria in high-burden settings.
The objectives for this year's World Malaria Day are:
-Highlight the successes of countries in the malaria fight.
-Inspire a new group of countries that have the potential to eliminate the disease by 2025.
-Demonstrate that zero malaria is within reach for all countries.
