Malaria Mortality (P. falciparum)

25 years, 2000–2024 · 76 countries · 3 measures

Malaria mortality is the number of deaths from falciparum malaria per 100,000 people each year. The figures are modelled by the Malaria Atlas Project from its estimates of how many people fall ill, not counted from death registers, which in the worst-affected countries record only a fraction of deaths.

This site holds every year from 2000 to 2024, read from MAP’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 23 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From the Malaria Atlas Project's own Trends API (national estimates, with their uncertainty bounds). MAP serves the rate per person; the decimal point has been moved to its documented unit, deaths per 100,000 people, without changing a digit.
