A keloid is a benign, well-demarcated area of fibrous tissue overgrowth that

Malaria is a major parasitic disease, affecting over 100 countries of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.¹

Around 300-500 million clinical cases of malaria are reported every year, of which more than a million die of severe and complicated cases of malaria.² It is fatal for children below the age of 5 years. Every 40 seconds a child dies of malaria, resulting in a daily loss of more than 2000 young lives worldwide.³ The economic toll of malaria is tremendous. It has been estimated that the African continent has forgone almost $100 billion in lost GDP over the last 35 years due to malaria alone.⁴ It has been reported that out of 1,223 new drugs developed during the period 1975-1996, only 3 drugs were antimalarials.⁵
