Roundup: Chinese aid helps Africa battle malaria


NAIROBI, April 25 (Xinhua) -- With a population of about 1.4 billion, Africa carries a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2021, the continent was home to about 95 percent of all malaria cases and 96 percent of deaths, according to the latest world malaria report published by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

While China has created a malaria-free society, bringing down an estimated 30 million cases of malaria to zero after nearly seven decades of hard work, now the country is actively sharing its experiences with African countries that are still haunted by the infectious disease.
