Malaria is a major public health concern in Malawi, especially among pregnant women and children under 5. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the country, accounting for one-third of outpatient visits. The government and organizations like USAID and PMI are working to reduce the burden of malaria through initiatives like indoor residual spraying, distribution of long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets, and improved access to artemisinin-based combination therapy. These efforts have led to a 44% reduction in anemia rates among children in some areas. However, more funding is still needed to fully address the issue of malaria in one of the poorest countries in the world.
