World Malaria Day is an international observance commemorated every year on 25 April and recognizes global efforts to control malaria. Globally, 3.3 billion people in 106 countries are at risk of malaria.
In 2012, malaria caused an estimated 627,000 deaths, mostly among African children.
This year, 2025, the World Malaria Day theme is “Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite”.
This theme highlights the necessity for renewed dedication, innovative planning, and teamwork to speed up the eradication of malaria.
Uganda will hold the national celebrations at the Kaunda Grounds in Gulu city, Northern part of the country.
