Africa’s progress against malaria in ‘jeopardy’ amid need for renewed commitments. Report: Despite preventing 1.8 billion malaria cases and saving 11.9 million lives since 2000, Africa’s progress has now stagnated. 11 African countries bear about two-thirds of the world’s malaria burden, according to WHO acting regional director Chikwe Ihekweazu. Egypt has been recognised by the WHO as malaria-free, marking a significant public health milestone for a country with more than 100 million inhabitants.
