Malaria cases in India are consistently decreasing with a 45 percent drop in 2020 and 13 percent in 2021, making it the only high-burden country in the Asia Pacific region reporting progress, said the chief of the top international body to eliminate malaria from the region.

He added: “India is the only high-burden country in the region that has continued to make steady progress in reducing malaria cases by 45 percent in 2020 and 13 percent in 2021, even during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.” Das further said the current situation of malaria in India was considerably better than it once was.
