44 countries and one territory ( La Réunion ) certified as malaria-free.

Egypt , where malaria has existed since at least the time of the pharaohs, joined the malaria free list in October .

The World Health Organization has called for a 75 percent reduction in deaths from malaria by 2025 .

But in 2023 , the death rate was more than double that target.

As of December 2024 , 17 countries have introduced malaria vaccines as part of routine childhood vaccinations.

The vaccine was linked with a 13 percent reduction in death from all causes except injury, and a 22 percent reduction of hospitalizations for severe malaria.

People in 34 African countries are being given malaria prevention treatments during pregnancy.
