Malaria Prevention

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 229 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2019, with 409,000 deaths.

While the majority of cases occur in sub-Saharan Africa, malaria also affects many other regions, including South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Overview Services

Preventing malaria is critical to reducing the disease burden and ultimately eliminating it. Here are some measures that can be taken to prevent malaria:

Use Mosquito Nets

Sleeping under a mosquito net that has been treated with insecticide is one of the most effective ways to prevent malaria.

Apply Insect Repellent

Applying insect repellent to exposed skin can help prevent mosquito bites.

Protective Clothing

Wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks can help reduce the amount of exposed skin that mosquitoes can bite.

Take Antimalarial

Antimalarial medication can be taken prophylactically to prevent malaria.

Preventing malaria requires a comprehensive approach that includes both personal and public health measures. By implementing the above strategies, individuals can protect themselves from mosquito bites and reduce the risk of malaria transmission. Additionally, public health efforts, such as mosquito control programs and access to antimalarial medication, are critical in reducing the overall burden of malaria.
