Small multiples polar area charts of Plasmodium falciparum death rates per 100,000 population across the 9 hardest-hit African countries (Sierra Leone, Niger, Central African Republic, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Benin, Cameroon, Liberia) from 2014 to 2024. Each slice represents one year and its shade encodes the mortality rate from white, to yellow, to deep red, showing persistently high and often worsening burden in Sierra Leone and Niger compared to more stable rates elsewhere.
