It's World Malaria Day today (WMD). WMD is a day set aside by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness of the mosquito-borne disease and assess efforts to prevent, treat, control, and eliminate the disease, which caused 602,020 deaths in Africa last year, according to the WHO.

'Harness innovation to lower the malaria disease burden and save lives,' is the subject of WMD 2022. Experts are concerned, however, that despite its efforts to combat malaria, Nigeria loses about $1.1 billion (N645.7 billion) per year in illness prevention and treatment, as well as other costs.

Malaria killed 200,000 Nigerians in 2021, according to experts, and infected 61 million more, according to the experts. They also stated that over half of all malaria deaths occurred in Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Tanzania, and Mozambique.
