Malaria deaths in Kenya up 19 percent in a decade
Although deaths have increased, the number of cases has only shown modest improvement. Kenya’s malaria incidence fell from 67 cases per 1,000 people at risk in 2010 to 60 in 2023—a decline of 11 percent.
The number of people dying from malaria in Kenya has increased by 19 percent over the past decade, newly published data shows, despite significant investments in prevention and diagnosis.
A results report for 2025 by the Global Fund said malaria-related deaths in Kenya increased from 10,000 in 2010 to 11,000 in 2023, making the country one of the few African nations where malaria mortality has worsened.
