- Halting and beginning to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases is one of the MDG goals under MDG 6 and with acceleration of current preventative interventions, this goal remains within reach for Zambia. Importantly, ensuring that women and children are also protected against malaria contributes to MDGs 4 and 5 on child and maternal mortality.
- Globally, the MDG target of halting and reversing the incidence of malaria is now in sight, and 50 countries are on track to reduce their malaria burden by at least 75 per cent by 2015. However, Malaria continues to inflict a major toll on least developed countries – primarily in Africa – and millions of people still lack access to life-saving interventions. In Africa, malaria kills a child every minute.
