World Malaria Day 2022 | Harnessing Innovation To Reduce The Malaria Disease Burden And Save Lives.

World Malaria Day (WMD) is an international observance commemorated every year on the 25th of April. It is a day set aside to recognize the global efforts in combating Malaria. WMD, first observed in 2008, evolved out of Africa Malaria Day, which had been observed annually since 2001, when African Leaders meeting under the auspices of the African Union signed the Abuja Declaration, committing to step-up efforts in fighting and eradicating Malaria in Africa. The theme for World Malaria Day 2022 is to harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives.

This year’s commemoration of Peace Day is special as the universe is grappling with a common enemy: the COVID-19 pandemic.

The theme for this year’s Peace Day is ‘Shaping Peace Together’ and the UN invited the world to spread compassion, kindness, and hope in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
