However, new research shows that the number of people who had died from malaria in India has been estimated much lower than the real state.
The research team claimed the WHO figures only include deaths due to malaria in clinics and hospitals. In fact, many people died from the disease at home.
Doubt
One of the authors of the report Professor Prabhat Jha said malaria is a common cause of death in the country with the most dense population in the world. "Malaria not only kills children, but also many adults," said Professor Jha, Director of the Center for Global Health Research in Toronto, Canada.
The researchers requested that number be corrected and treatment of malaria victims were given more adequate funding.
However, the WHO rejected the Lancet reported figures, because the number was obtained through a survey from house to house.
Director of WHO's global malaria program in Dr. Robert Newman acknowledged that the evaluation method used by the organization currently does have a weakness, but doubt the results of research that appeared in The Lancet about the number of deaths from malaria in India.
However, he welcomed the new effort to estimate the number of deaths from malaria. "It is important to evaluate the exact cause of death due to any disease requires a different strategic management," he said.
WHO estimates that malaria causes approximately 10,000 to 21,000 deaths in India in 2006.
