This day has been set aside to call attention to malaria and its catastrophic effects on families, societies, nations, and Sub-Saharan Africa in general. 

With the introduction of the vaccine and the availability of other preventive measures for those most at risk, there has been significant progress over time. This year, the focus will be on speeding up innovation and the deployment of new strategies in the campaign against malaria, as well as campaigning for universal access to malaria prevention and treatment.

Despite the delay in the reduction of malaria cases and deaths, the situation is still better than it was years ago. We need to develop new technologies to lower malaria's burden and save lives, particularly among children under the age of five.

Clearing bushes, removing stagnant water, using insecticide-treated mosquito nets, indoor insecticide spraying, immunization and early and proper treatment are all steps that should be encouraged.
