Abstract
Malaria is one of the life-threatening diseases that have been the worst globally. It is among the greatest causes of death. It is a leading cause of illness in most developing countries, especially among young children and pregnant women. In fact, new antibiotics and even possible vaccines are necessary, but the fact that working antibiotics exist is important. It is compulsory to control and educate the community in terms of Anopheles ’mosquitoes. Malaria is the norm worldwide, with 3000 children dying due to this malaria. Pakistan records half a million cases of malaria each year, and Khyber is worse afflicted compared to others in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces. He indicated that 50000 people die due to malaria every year in the entire global population, and most of these cases are among infants, children, and pregnant mothers. Women in the malaria-endemic countries have 4 times higher chances of exposure to malaria attacks when they are in their pregnant conditions and deliver low-weight and stillborn children. Not only this, but also malaria is also one of the causes of about 60 per cent of the miscarriages in hyperendemic areas. Morocco is an example of the capacity to reduce the transmission of malaria by conducting a well-coordinated vector-control programme as a state with a majority of its people being Muslim. This was attained courtesy of a culmination of various factors: steadfast political dedication, direct involvement of local people, and a well-structured people-well-being style of infrastructure. The synergy that occurred allowed the country to transform very high incidence rates into eradication. On the other hand, malaria has persistently been a thorn in the flesh of Pakistan due to the lack of awareness of the general population about the disease and also the lack of well-developed sewage systems. Therefore, there is the imminent need to break several silos and package and implement evidence-based preventative and therapeutic measures, which are patient-friendly, clinician-efficient, and would yield positive socio-economic impact.
