The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended a new vaccine, R21/Matrix-M, for the prevention of malaria for children.

Nangarhar residents urged the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) to take steps to stop the spread of the disease.

Coinciding with World Malaria Day, the World Health Organization says that Afghanistan has witnessed 125,788 cases of malaria in 2022.

Malaria has killed more than 1,800 people in Burundi this year, the United Nations (UN)’s humanitarian agency says, a death toll rivaling a deadly Ebola outbreak in the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo.
