Islamabad: Pakistan has reduced the emergence of malaria cases by ten percent during the last calendar year compared to 2024.According to Radio Pakistan, a report issued by the World Health Organization on World Malaria Day highlighted that Pakistan has not yet fully recovered from the surge in malaria caused by the 2022 climate-driven floods. To address this, Pakistan screened approximately 16.9 million suspected cases and provided free treatment to most of the nearly 1.8 million confirmed patients. This was achieved in collaboration with WHO, partners, the private sector, and civil society, with funding support from the Global Fund to defeat AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria during the last year.Additionally, around 12 million mosquito nets were distributed in Pakistan over a three-year period from 2023 to 2025. The adoption of community-based case management has also shown strong potential for reaching hard-to-reach communities.The WHO supported a country-led malaria program review that involved visits to health facilities across various provinces during the current month. The goal of this program was to gather evidence and lessons to continue strengthening prevention, surveillance, case management, evidence-based vector control, data systems, and outbreak preparedness at both federal and provincial levels.Furthermore, in collaboration with partners, the World Health Organization launched a global campaign to protect lives and fund a malaria-free future, under the theme 'Driven to End Malaria: Now We Can, Now We Must'. WHO has called on all partners to intensify the response to prevent a resurgence in Pakistan, emphasizing that ending malaria within our lifetime is now possible.
