Prompt and effective treatment of malaria is a critical element of malaria control. It is vital that sufferers, especially children under age 5, start treatment within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, to prevent progression - often rapid - to severe malaria and death. Data on malaria are from national-level surveys, including Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, Demographic and Health Surveys, and Malaria Indicator Surveys.", "type": "float", "datasetName": "World Development Indicators", "updatePeriodDays": 365, "datasetVersion": "2026-02-27", "nonRedistributable": false, "display": {"unit": "% of children under age 5 with fever", "shortUnit": "%"}, "schemaVersion": 2, "presentation": {}, "dimensions": {"years": {"values": [{"id": 2015}, {"id": 2001}, {"id": 2007}, {"id": 2011}, {"id": 2016}, {"id": 2000}, {"id": 2006}, {"id": 2014}, {"id": 2012}, {"id": 2018}, {"id": 2003}, {"id": 2010}, {"id": 2005}, {"id": 2017}, {"id": 2004}, {"id": 2009}, {"id": 2002}, {"id": 2013}, {"id": 2008}, {"id": 2020}, {"id": 1998}, {"id": 2019}, {"id": 2021}, {"id": 1999}]}, "entities": {"values": [{"id": 15, "name": "Afghanistan", "code": "AFG"}, {"id": 19, "name": "Angola", "code": "AGO"}, {"id": 22, "name": "Armenia", "code": "ARM"}, {"id": 25, "name": "Azerbaijan", "code": "AZE"}, {"id": 28, "name": "Bangladesh", "code": "BGD"}, {"id": 32, "name": "Benin", "code": "BEN"}, {"id": 40, "name": "Burkina Faso", "code": "BFA"}, {"id": 41, "name": "Burundi", "code": "BDI"}, {"id": 42, "name": "Cambodia", "code": "KHM"}, {"id": 43, "name": "Cameroon", "code": "CMR"}, {"id": 174, "name": "Central African Republic", "code": "CAF"}, {"id": 173, "name": "Chad", "code": "TCD"}, {"id": 170, "name": "Colombia", "code": "COL"}, {"id": 169, "name": "Comoros", "code": "COM"}, {"id": 168, "name": "Congo", "code": "COG"}, {"id": 143, "name": "Cote d'Ivoire", "code": "CIV"}, {"id": 167, "name": "Democratic Republic of Congo", "code": "COD"}, {"id": 154, "name": "Djibouti", "code": "DJI"}, {"id": 160, "name": "Dominican Republic", "code": "DOM"}, {"id": 225, "name": "East Timor", "code": "TLS"}, {"id": 159, "name": "Equatorial Guinea", "code": "GNQ"}, {"id": 157, "name": "Eritrea", "code": "ERI"}, {"id": 78, "name": "Eswatini", "code": "SWZ"}, {"id": 158, "name": "Ethiopia", "code": "ETH"}, {"id": 153, "name": "Gabon", "code": "GAB"}, {"id": 151, "name": "Gambia", "code": "GMB"}, {"id": 150, "name": "Ghana", "code": "GHA"}, {"id": 148, "name": "Guatemala", "code": "GTM"}, {"id": 147, "name": "Guinea", "code": "GIN"}, {"id": 94, "name": "Guinea-Bissau", "code": "GNB"}, {"id": 146, "name": "Guyana", "code": "GUY"}, {"id": 145, "name": "Haiti", "code": "HTI"}, {"id": 139, "name": "Honduras", "code": "HND"}, {"id": 137, "name": "India", "code": "IND"}, {"id": 136, "name": "Indonesia", "code": "IDN"}, {"id": 134, "name": "Iraq", "code": "IRQ"}, {"id": 129, "name": "Kenya", "code": "KEN"}, {"id": 125, "name": "Laos", "code": "LAO"}, {"id": 121, "name": "Liberia", "code": "LBR"}, {"id": 461, "name": "Low-income countries", "code": "OWID_LIC"}, {"id": 460, "name": "Lower-middle-income countries", "code": "OWID_LMC"}, {"id": 118, "name": "Madagascar", "code": "MDG"}, {"id": 117, "name": "Malawi", "code": "MWI"}, {"id": 115, "name": "Mali", "code": "MLI"}, {"id": 114, "name": "Mauritania", "code": "MRT"}, {"id": 109, "name": "Mozambique", "code": "MOZ"}, {"id": 142, "name": "Myanmar", "code": "MMR"}, {"id": 108, "name": "Namibia", "code": "NAM"}, {"id": 107, "name": "Nepal", "code": "NPL"}, {"id": 105, "name": "Nicaragua", "code": "NIC"}, {"id": 104, "name": "Niger", "code": "NER"}, {"id": 103, "name": "Nigeria", "code": "NGA"}, {"id": 101, "name": "Pakistan", "code": "PAK"}, {"id": 99, "name": "Papua New Guinea", "code": "PNG"}, {"id": 97, "name": "Peru", "code": "PER"}, {"id": 96, "name": "Philippines", "code": "PHL"}, {"id": 91, "name": "Rwanda", "code": "RWA"}, {"id": 232, "name": "Sao Tome and Principe", "code": "STP"}, {"id": 89, "name": "Senegal", "code": "SEN"}, {"id": 87, "name": "Sierra Leone", "code": "SLE"}, {"id": 195, "name": "Solomon Islands", "code": "SLB"}, {"id": 82, "name": "Somalia", "code": "SOM"}, {"id": 81, "name": "South Africa", "code": "ZAF"}, {"id": 277956, "name": "South Asia (WB)", "code": "WB_SA"}, {"id": 258, "name": "South Sudan", "code": "SSD"}, {"id": 141, "name": "Sri Lanka", "code": "LKA"}, {"id": 277950, "name": "Sub-Saharan Africa (WB)", "code": "WB_SSA"}, {"id": 79, "name": "Sudan", "code": "SDN"}, {"id": 234, "name": "Suriname", "code": "SUR"}, {"id": 76, "name": "Tajikistan", "code": "TJK"}, {"id": 64, "name": "Tanzania", "code": "TZA"}, {"id": 74, "name": "Togo", "code": "TGO"}, {"id": 68, "name": "Uganda", "code": "UGA"}, {"id": 221, "name": "Vanuatu", "code": "VUT"}, {"id": 84, "name": "Vietnam", "code": "VNM"}, {"id": 61, "name": "Yemen", "code": "YEM"}, {"id": 60, "name": "Zambia", "code": "ZMB"}, {"id": 80, "name": "Zimbabwe", "code": "ZWE"}]}}, "origins": [{"id": 13615, "title": "World Development Indicators", "description": "The World Development Indicators (WDI) database, published by the World Bank, is a comprehensive collection of global development data, providing key economic, social, and environmental statistics.
