Malaria is arguably one of the oldest illnesses in history. This disease is caused by the female
Anopheles mosquito and has been responsible for many deaths worldwide. In this case, even
though it is curable, Malaria has still managed to remain a problem in many countries which is a
problem that can be attributed to the ignorance of people regarding the prevention measures that
have been suggested to help curb the spread of the disease and reduce the need of people to use
medicine as a cure. In this case, Malaria has been found to have the highest fatality rates in
children and pregnant women. However, this sickness mostly affects people who live near
forests or places with stagnant water, as such areas are believed to be the breeding places for the
dangerous parasites (MacCormack, C.P., 1984, p.81). However, the spread of the disease in the
contemporary world is less than a century ago. The main reason behind this is because people
have taken a more serious initiative to protect themselves against the disease as now the
prevention measures are clearer than they were in the past. Moreover, more information on the
early symptoms of the disease has helped people seek medical attention in a faster response rate,
making it easier for Malaria to be cured in most cases. As such, this has significantly reduced the
death rate by the disease. However, to estimate how much progress has been made in reducing
Malaria, one has to consider a general view that involves tracking the significance of Malaria on
global terms.
GLOBAL HEALTH TOPIC
According to the World Health Organization, malaria worldwide infections stood at around 229
million, with the number of people who died from the disease estimated to be 409,000. These
statistics show the impact that Malaria has even in the contemporary world where healthcare
administration has been improved. However, one area of interest while looking at the case of the
