Kenya malaria cases surge as global funding crisis deepens
The WHO attributes the increase in malaria transmission to a severe global funding cut, which halved globally, from $879.4 million (Sh113.7 billion) to $439 million (Sh56.8 billion).
Reported malaria cases in Kenya increased by 27 percent last year, pushing the country higher in global disease burden rankings, a new global report shows.
An annual report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) shows that Kenya recorded 4,186,000 cases in 2025, up from 3,294,000 in 2024 – an additional 892,000 cases that moved Kenya to position 23 globally from 21, and from position 21 to 20 within Africa.
