📊 Charts Spotlight - Malaria Cases On The Decline

Southeast Asia presents a compelling case study in successful malaria control. Malaria incidents have plummeted 70% across the region between 2012 and 2021, showcasing the impact of sustained governmental efforts. This significant decline, in a region historically recording the second-highest global malaria burden, signifies positive momentum towards achieving broader control.
