Malaria is a major problem in Nigeria, especially among the general population. The country has the largest prevalence of the disease and ninety-seven percent of people live in the highest-risk areas. As a country with a high rate of poverty, prevention is a challenge, so the death rate from malaria has climbed to the highest in the world.
