Malawi · Malaria Deaths (WHO Estimates)
7,5012024
Unit: deaths. Publisher measure: Estimated number of malaria deaths.
Estimated annual number of deaths due to malaria, across ages. This is a death count, not a mortality rate or simply reported deaths. WHO methods vary by country and transmission setting, using adjusted reporting, species-specific case-fatality estimates and mortality models.
Measurement basis: WHO malaria burden estimates, with country-specific adjusted surveillance, case-fatality calculations and mortality modelling.
Reference-period cadence: annual.
Source update cadence: annual. This does not establish a publication date for an individual reading.
- Estimated annual malaria deaths across ages, not a mortality rate or just reported deaths. Methods vary by country and transmission setting; children used in a model do not make the result an under-five-only measure.
- Source uncertainty intervals are optional. Preserve supplied endpoints, genuine zeros and absent intervals separately; this capture does not establish one confidence level for all death intervals.
- French Guiana (GUF) and Mayotte (MYT) are distinct source geographies outside the product catalog. Their raw source records are retained and excluded from app rows without remapping to France.
- Each country retains its own latest reference year. Source Date and a numerical estimate do not establish an official publication vintage or an observed-versus-modelled flag.
Displayed values are rounded, with extra precision when needed to keep a positive estimate positive. Downloads retain the full numeric estimate and the publisher's original display text separately.
A “<” sign means strictly below the stated number. Numeric readings and uncertainty endpoints keep their own comparison signs. A number without a sign does not establish certainty or an observed outcome.

Download this immutable source capture · Source and coverage corrections
One row per country, indicator and year, with raw values, source links and reuse notices. Thresholds have an empty numeric value and separate number/operator fields; value_kind distinguishes upper bounds from absent readings.
History and uncertainty
Charts plot numeric readings. Reported upper bounds create gaps; their values, uncertainty endpoints and source notes remain available in the table and downloads.
Reported estimates and uncertainty · 25 rows
Each comparison sign applies to its own reading or uncertainty endpoint. Values retain source precision. “Not reported” identifies an absent reading or uncertainty endpoint in this source capture.
