Reports | Dated: 01 Dec 2025

The World Health Organization (WHO) has released the World Malaria Report 2025. It highlights that India has continued its downward trend in malaria cases, registering a 15% decline compared to the previous year. India is the only high-burden country in South-East Asia to show such a significant reduction.

🎯 Key Highlights:

The report attributes India's success to improved surveillance, vector control measures, and the widespread use of insecticide-treated nets in endemic states like Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
However, globally, the progress against malaria has stalled, with climate change posing a new threat to elimination efforts.
WHO urged countries to invest more in new tools like malaria vaccines (R21/Matrix-M) to get back on track.
