World Malaria Day is being celebrated today. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Due to rain or moisture in the environment, malaria mosquitoes start growing and the disease spreads. Severe cases of malaria can be fatal for children. Some common symptoms of malaria are fever, headache, vomiting, chills, fatigue, dizziness, and abdominal pain. Generally, medicines have to be taken for about two weeks in the treatment of malaria. At the same time, ignoring the disease can be fatal. Every year thousands of cases of malaria are reported in India and many patients die due to malaria. Malaria Day is celebrated globally to create awareness about the seriousness of malaria and how to avoid it.
The World Health Organization decided to celebrate Malaria Day globally in the year 2007. Malaria Day was celebrated in African countries for the first time. Malaria was one of the causes of deaths in African countries at that time, and with the aim of reducing the figures of these deaths, World Malaria Day was started.
In view of the organization of Malaria Day at the African level, in the year 2007, the World Health Organization announced to celebrate this day in a meeting, so that people's attention should be drawn towards this dangerous disease and millions of deaths due to malaria can be prevented every year. Could Along with this, people can be made aware about malaria.
