2013年12月11日,日内瓦/华盛顿市:根据世界卫生组织(世卫组织)发布的《2013年世界疟疾报告》,自2000年以来,全球在控制和消除疟疾方面的努力估计已挽救了330万人的生命,全球范围内和非洲地区的疟疾死亡率分别下降了45%和49%。尽管在2000至2012年期间全球面临疟疾风险的人群有所增加,但预防和控制措施实施范围的扩大反映出疟疾死亡数和患病人数的持续下降。加强政治承诺,并扩大供资,已促使全球以及非洲地区的疟疾发病率分别下降了29%和31%。 Geneva, December 11, 2013: According to the World Malaria Report 2013 issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), global efforts to contain and eradicate malaria have been estimated at 330 since 2000 Malaria death rates have dropped by 45% and 49% respectively in human lives worldwide and in Africa. Despite an increase in the global population at risk of malaria between 2000 and 2012, the expansion in the scope of implementation of prevention and control measures reflects the continued decline in malaria deaths and number of cases. Strengthened political commitment and increased funding have led to a 29% and 31% drop in the incidence of malaria worldwide as well as in Africa.
