Malaria kills up to 3 million people a year, 90% of them in Sub-Saharan Africa. That is a minimum of seven jumbo jets filled with mostly women and children a day.
However, malaria can be cured and prevented at relatively low costs.
Stop Malaria Now! is a consortium of nine health and development NGOs from Europe and Africa. We want to raise public awareness of malaria and mobilize respective support for stronger political, financial and strategic commitments of European governments in order to achieve the malaria-related Millennium Development Goals.
International position paper on Malaria
