Every year, malaria kills one million people


Malaria causes 3000 deaths per day - mainly in Africa : Every 30 seconds a child dies from malaria
Controlling malaria will contribute significantly to the United Nations (UN) Millennium Development Goals, which all 192 UN Member States have pledged to achieve by 2015.


The RBM Partnership seeks to halve the burden of malaria by 2010
Beyond reducing the disease burden, a successful fight against malaria will have far-reaching impact on child mortality, maternal health, and poverty, which in turn could increase global stability.
