The Challenge

Why Malaria Matters

Malaria remains one of the leading causes of death in Nigeria, particularly among pregnant women and children under five. Despite progress, significant challenges persist in prevention, treatment, and data management.

Critical Statistics

  • - Over 60 million malaria cases annually in Nigeria
  • - 80,000+ malaria-related deaths per year
  • - Pregnant women 3x more likely to suffer severe malaria
  • - Children under 5 account for 67% of malaria deaths

High Malaria Burden

Nigeria accounts for 27% of global malaria cases, with pregnant women and children under 5 being most vulnerable.

Limited Data Systems

Inadequate real-time disease surveillance and data collection hampers effective response and resource allocation.

Healthcare Access Gaps

Rural communities face significant barriers to accessing quality malaria prevention and treatment services.

Financial Burden

Out-of-pocket healthcare costs push families into poverty, especially during malaria outbreaks.
