How many die each year from malaria?
My grandson recently had a bad bout of malaria, and it made me worry about how serious it still is. I remember hearing it causes many deaths, so how many people die each year from malaria globally?

According to reports, malaria unfortunately causes over 600,000 deaths globally every year. I am not an expert, but it is really important to keep our homes free of stagnant water. If anyone has high fever with chills, please see a doctor immediately.

The global death toll is around 619,000 annually, mostly affecting young children in tropical regions. If you are experiencing fever, chills, and body aches, don't wait around or self-medicate. Go get a rapid malaria blood test done at the nearest lab.

Globally it is more than 6 lakh deaths a year, which is very sad because it is preventable. In our homes, using mosquito nets, putting mesh on windows, and using standard repellents are simple ways to keep our families safe.

The numbers are quite high, around 6 lakhs globally. It is never wise to ignore any high fever, thinking it is just a common cold. One must immediately go to a proper hospital and get tested to start treatment on time.

Malaria kills over 6 lakh people yearly. I once ignored a high fever for four days, thinking it was just exhaustion, and ended up with severe weakness and low platelets. Please don't repeat my mistake, get tested if you feel unwell.
