The spread of this disease continues to expand to different origins around the world. “It is estimated that two billion people (more than 40% of the world's population) live in malaria risk areas (MFI).” “The global annual incidence ranges from three to five hundred million clinical cases, with a death toll of between two and three million (Okenu).” “Malaria accounts for 10% of Africa's disease burden, causing the greatest suffering and impoverishment among the poor, of whom pregnant women and children under five years of age are the most vulnerable (Okenu).” This significant malaria epidemic requires a plan to manage disease control and implement it immediately.
