Those are the numbers for a single country. Malaria kills 1-3 million people per year globally.

Unless I'm misreading the link, those numbers (~600k/yr) are global. Still, staggeringly high, and concentrated in a region.

Yes, the number is "global" - but the actual part of the "globe" that's affected is remarkably small ..making its rate far worse than it otherwise appears
