World Malaria Day 2012
On April 25, 2012, World Malaria Day 2012 was celebrated across the globe. This year’s theme — Sustain Gains, Save Lives: Invest in Malaria — marks a decisive point in time: will sustained investment in control and elimination efforts continue to shrink the malaria map or will fragile gains be lost due to reductions in international funding? Numerous events were held around the world to commemorate the global effort toward effective control and elimination of malaria.
