ISCCM Position Statement on the Management of Severe Malaria in Intensive Care Unit.

Unlabelled: Malaria is a worldwide health concern, but a great majority of cases occur in tropical countries like India. With almost 95% of Indian population living in malaria endemic regions, India contributes to most of the global malaria cases and deaths, outside of African countries.
