Almost the entire population of Cameroon, over 27 million people, are at risk of malaria, a daunting health challenge that is particularly devastating for pregnant women and young children in the central African country. In 2022 alone, according to the World Health Organization, Cameroon recorded more than 6.4 million cases of the disease and over malaria-related 12,500 deaths. China is sharing its experience in malaria prevention and control with Cameroon and contributing to the fight against malaria. China has dispatched medical teams and professionals to Cameroon since 1975, serving locals and improving local health services.
