Product Description:

Half of the world's population is at risk of malaria, and an estimated 250 million cases led to nearly a million deaths in 2006. The advent of long-lasting insecticidal nets and artemisinin-based combination therapy, plus a revival of support for indoor residual spraying of insecticide, presents a new opportunity for large-scale malaria control.

The World Malaria Report 2008 uses data from routine surveillance and household surveys to assess recent progress towards targets set by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership within the framework of the Millennium Development Goals. In 5 main chapters, 30 country profiles, and 7 annexes, the report describes: the estimated burden of disease in each of the 109 countries and territories with malaria in 2006; how WHO-recommended policies and strategies on malaria control have been adopted, by country, region and globally; the progress made in implementing control measures; the sources of funding for malaria control; and recent evidence from specific countries that prevention and treatment can, as expected, reduce malaria cases and deaths.
