This disease spreads in tropical and subtropical countries, and the lack of early diagnosis and treatment may lead to death. This study aims to analyze and compare the indicators of malaria as prevalence and mortality, while estimating the possible cases in future periods using statistical measures. Publications for the year 2024 on the incidence and mortality of malaria epidemic in global regions were used, with a comparison made by regions and finding their indicators, illustrated with graphs. The results of the data analysis showed that there were no cases of incidence or mortality in the malaria epidemic on the continent of Europe, as well as in the Americas, it was very limited, the highest was in the continent of Africa, where the death rate was (96%) of the total global deaths (627000) persons. Conclusion: The fifteen countries with the most deaths from the malaria epidemic were all on the continent of Africa except, India which recorded a death rate of (3%), the highest countries in Africa were Nigeria, followed by Congo, Uganda, and least of all Guyana.
