● Most patients recover quickly from malaria symptoms after treatment, but if treatment is delayed, serious complications such as severe malarial anaemia, cerebral malaria, coma or death can occur.
● The theme for World Malaria Day 2023 is 'Time to deliver malaria: Invest, Innovate, Implement', a call to implement currently available tools and strategies to reach people in need in the Western Pacific region. ओपन / कमेंट
