Don't work yourself to death: No one ever said 'I wish I spent more time at work' on their deathbed

Did you know that malaria is considered one of the world’s leading public health issues? In 2019 there were more than 229 million cases and 409,000 deaths caused by the disease. These figures are from the World Health Organisation (WHO), which is committed to ending malaria, stating, “no one should die from a disease that can be prevented... and that is entirely curable with available treatments”.

Another report from the WHO that caught my eye recently left me stunned as I read the statistics of another preventable condition that has left malaria in the dust in terms of lives lost.
