World Malaria Day 2025: Step Up The Fight; Save Lives.

Every year, World Malaria Day is a somber reminder of the collective effort needed to end one of the world's most deadly infectious diseases. Malaria is preventable and curable, yet it kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. This year's theme, "Accelerate the Fight. Save Lives," calls on all of us—governments, health workers, organizations and individuals—to accelerate efforts against the disease.

Understanding Malaria

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, transmitted to humans from bites by infective Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria symptoms like chills, fever, and influenza-like illness will quickly lead to severe complications if not treated.".
Despite the availability of low-cost preventive interventions and diagnostic tools, malaria still endangers over 3 billion people globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia, like in India.

Our Commitment

As a health care provider, we are dedicated to:
  • Creating prevention and early detection awareness of malaria.
  • Enabling diagnostic and therapeutic services in the impacted communities.
  • Providing the patients with education regarding the significance of wearing mosquito nets, repellents and hygiene.
  • Collaborating with public health practitioners in disease surveillance and disease control programs.
Our hospital also promotes the importance of patients getting medical attention early if they have symptoms, particularly after traveling to risk areas.

Progress in India

India has made remarkable progress in reducing the malaria case burden and is poised to significantly contribute to malaria elimination by the year 2030. The efforts coordinated by the National Center for Vector Borne Diseases Control (NCVBDC) and state governments have significantly reduced the disease burden. But constant efforts and people's involvement are needed to sustain this momentum.

Did You Know?

  • Under 5 years and women who are pregnant are most susceptible to serious malaria.
  • Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) identify malaria in minutes so that treatment can be administered promptly.
  • Urbanization and global warming are major challenges to malaria control.

Join the Fight

Today, on this World Malaria Day, we call upon all to join the global fight against malaria. Whether by raising awareness, taking preventive action, or contributing to community efforts, every effort counts. Together, we can move towards a malaria-free world. If you or someone you know is showing symptoms of malaria, do not hesitate to seek medical care. Early treatment will be lifesaving. For appointments or inquiries visit doctor booking.
