QUESTION

How is malaria a global issue?

ANSWER

Malaria is a global issue because it is found all over the world, with people in 109 countries at everyday risk of infection and approximately 250 million cases every year. In fact, every year, cases of malaria are reported from every continent of the world apart from Antartica; moreover, there are concerns that in the face of climate change, more areas of the world will become suitable for transmission of malaria, making it even more widespread.
