According to the minister, more than 10 million cases were reported in 2023, with a significant reduction in the number of deaths, from 12,480 in 2022 to 10,089 in 2023, representing a reduction of 19 percent. \u201cEverything is being done to ensure that malaria is no longer a major public health problem in the country,\u201d she stressed. The World Malaria Report, she said, reveals that in 2022, the African Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) was responsible for 93.6 percent of registered cases and 95.4 percent of global deaths, with 78.1 percent of these occurring in children under five years of age.Pregnant women and children, she added, continue to be the most vulnerable group. Angola, she said, ranks fourth among the 28 African countries with the highest number of reported cases in 2022, behind Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>Si\u0301lvia Lutucuta recalled that World Malaria Day, celebrated on Thursday 24th, should be the best time to rekindle political and social commitment, as well as to reinvest in the prevention, control and elimination of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is also essential to mobilize partners from the private sector, as well as civil society and the academic world, so that together we can accelerate scientific advances in this area and promote the end of malaria by 2030\u201d, she stressed.<\/p>\n<p>This year, he stressed, Angola joined the global call to renew commitments, innovate strategies and reinforce investments to eliminate malaria by 2030, on the occasion of World Malaria Day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Angola<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Angola.
