    The document discusses malaria in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It describes how malaria cases have surged in the DRC and it remains a major public health challenge. The President's Malaria Initiative and other organizations are working to fight malaria in the DRC by distributing insecticide-treated bed nets, providing access to malaria testing and treatment, and educating communities on prevention. However, ongoing conflict, poverty and lack of infrastructure in parts of the DRC make controlling the disease difficult. Malaria continues to be a leading killer, especially of children, in the region.
