NAN reports that the 2025 World Malaria Report shows Nigeria recorded the highest malaria burden globally, with an estimated 68.46 million cases and about 30.3 per cent of global malaria deaths.
According to the SFH report, the integrated approach it employed strengthened state health systems and positioned communities for sustained malaria prevention gains.
According to the report, ITN distribution alone provided protection for 45.09 million people across the six ITN implementation states.
It said 1.08 million eligible children were reached in Adamawa, while 3.08 million children benefited in Kano.
