There are approximately 38.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS around the world, and the vast majority of them live in Africa. In 2021, it is estimated that 860,000 people in Africa were newly infected with HIV and 420,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses. On the other hand, in 2020, malaria caused an estimated 241 million clinical episodes and 627,000 deaths. An estimated 95% of deaths in 2020 were in the WHO African Region. Despite significant progress made in recent years in expanding access to treatment, only around half of those who need treatment in Africa are able to receive it.
