World Malaria Day Observed on 25 April 2025.
Important Days
World Malaria Day (WMD) is celebrated annually on April 25 across the globe to raise awareness, mobilize resources, and promote actions for the prevention, control, and elimination of malaria.
- The theme for WMD 2025 is "Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite," which aims to energize efforts at all levels—from global policy to community action—to accelerate progress towards malaria elimination.
Main Point :- (i) WMD was established by WHO member states during the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 2007.
(ii) The first World Malaria Day was observed on April 25, 2008.
(iii) The concept of WMD originates from Africa Malaria Day, initiated in 2001 by African countries following the Abuja Declaration, which was signed by 44 malaria-endemic countries at the African Summit on Malaria.
