The WHO African Region shouldered 94% of all malaria cases and deaths worldwide in 2019. About 3% per cent of malaria cases in 2019 were reported in the WHO South-East Asia Region and 2% in the WHO Region for the Eastern Mediterranean. The WHO Western Pacific Region and the WHO Region o...
It was estimated that about a quarter of the world’s population was infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis [3], with approximately 10.6 million new cases of TB and 1.3 million deaths attributed to TB estimated in 2022, placing a severe burden on global health [4]. It is crucial to ...
The disease remains a global health problem with over 216 million cases and some 445,000 deaths every year, said WHO. According to WHO's World Malaria Report 2017, progress against malaria across Africa has been uneven, putting at risk the tremendous progress to-date and African leaders' colle...
Some countries and regions are still confronted with a high burden of malaria, mainly in Africa and South Asia. It is estimated that the World Health Organization (WHO) African Region accounted for about 82% cases and 95% deaths globally, followed by the WHO South Asia Region (10% of ...
Estimation of the number and rate of deaths by age and sex is a key first stage for calculation of the burden of disease in order to constrain estimates of cause-specific mortality and to measure premature mortality in populations. We aimed to estimate life tables and annual numbers of deaths...

Deaths were multiplied by standard life expectancy at each age to calculate YLLs. A Bayesian meta-regression modelling tool, DisMod-MR 2.1, was used to ensure consistency between incidence, prevalence, remission, excess mortality, and cause-specific mortality for most causes. Prevalence estimates were...
