CHENNAI: The World Health Organization says close to one in seven people in India are at risk of contracting malaria.

In a report that should worry public health officials, it says India, along with Ethiopia, Pakistan and Indonesia accounts for 80% of all malaria cases worldwide, but the country allocates the lowest funding for malaria control in the world.

The report, based on the data collated by the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), says of the 138 million people who doctors suspected to have malaria in the country, 1.102 million were confirmed cases.

Although this is 15% lower than the 1.31 million cases in 2011, it is higher than in 2013 (.88 million) and 2012 (1.06 million). Deaths from malaria have also increased from 519 in 2012 to 562 in 2014.
