World Malaria Day today

Desk Report: The World Malaria Day is being observed in Bangladesh as elsewhere across the globe today (Wednesday) with the theme 'Ready to Beat Malaria'.

World Malaria Day -- which was instituted by the World Health Assembly at its 60th session in May 2007 -- is a day for recognising the global efforts to control malaria.

According to World Health Organisation (WHO) every year, about 216 million people become affected with malaria and 6,55,000 die of the disease.

In Bangladesh, different organisations have chalked out various programmes to mark the day.

The programmes include seminar, rally and health camps.
