USAID, through  the US President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI )funding and programs, delivered 13.4 million bed nets, 6 million fast-acting medicines, and 11.8 million Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests to clinics and communities in Nigeria over the past year.

A statement issued by the US Embassy in Nigeria said that in 2023, more than 7,200 health workers were trained to strengthen their skills in malaria detection, treatment, and how to provide lifesaving care for their communities.

Deputy Mission Director Sara Werth said this during the country’s annual World Malaria Day commemoration to highlight the partnership between the United States and Nigeria to protect people from malaria and support healthy communities.

Malaria—a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes—occurs regularly and is widespread across Nigeria.  The World Health Organization estimates that Nigeria had nearly 67 million cases in 2022 accounting for 27 percent of the global malaria burden.  Also in 2022, Nigeria accounted for 31 percent of global deaths and 38 percent of global deaths in children under the age of five.
