1. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) April 25 of each year is recognized internationally as World Malaria Day . (2) Malaria is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries, with nearly half of all cases globally occurring in only 4 countries, despite being preventable and treatable. (3) At the end of 2021, there were an estimated 247,000,000 malaria cases in 84 endemic countries and 619,000 deaths from malaria. (4) Between 2019 and 2021, an estimated additional 13,400,000 cases and 63,000 deaths were attributed to disruptions during that period of the COVID–19 pandemic. (5) Young children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to, and disproportionately affected by, malaria, with children under the age of 5 accounting for 76 percent of malaria deaths each year. (6) Malaria was once a leading cause of death in the United States. (7) Fighting malaria is in the national interest of the United States because reducing the risk of malaria protects members of the Armed Forces and other people of the United States serving overseas in malaria-endemic regions, and reducing malaria deaths helps to lower risks of instability in less developed countries. (8) United States support for efforts to fight malaria— (A) is in the diplomatic and moral interests of the United States; (B) generates goodwill toward the United States
