Framing the challenge at #Innovation and the Fight Against Malaria #WHS2024 - Dr Michael @DekunleCharles 🔹Rising drug and insecticide resistance is compromising treatment effectiveness, while climate change is expanding malaria’s reach—potentially increasing transmission risk by 50% in parts of South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and China by 2050. 🔹R&D funding has dropped by 10% to its lowest level in 15 years, risking the development of new tools to address these challenges. 🔹Socioeconomic factors, such as poverty, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate infrastructure, intensify the risks associated with malaria transmission, disproportionally impacting the most vulnerable including children and pregnant women. #EndMalaria #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #OurOnlyChoice

@vestergaard has partnered with the Nigerian government to establish the first manufacturing hub for insecticide-treated nets in West Africa, which will increase access to these #malaria prevention tools where they are needed most: bit.ly/3TWL2g5

Malaria already devastates the world’s poorest and most vulnerable countries, with young children bearing the greatest burden. 2022 saw nearly 250 million cases and 600,000 deaths ( *@WHO World Malaria Report 2023). Without sufficient funding, these numbers will only rise 📈 This is #OurOnlyChoice - leaders must prioritize funding to #endmalaria and fully support the @GlobalFund

Excited for the launch of 2 new National Malaria Youth Corps Chapters in S.Sudan & Malawi this week! 🇸🇸faces one of the highest #malaria burdens globally, with 7,680 cases & 18 deaths daily (@WHO); while in 🇲🇼, malaria remains a public health concern with 4.4M cases reported in 2021 and 7,392 deaths. #Youth are essential in grassroots #malaria prevention efforts & in driving national advocacy to ensure #malaria remains a top public health priority.

Once curable infections are now untreatable due to antimicrobial resistance. People with HIV, TB & malaria are particularly vulnerable. @GlobalFund invests in health systems that accurately diagnose diseases, prescribe the right antibiotics & new drugs to tackle resistant bacteria.

For @GlobalFund Changemaker Stephenie Rodriguez the fight against malaria is personal. The disease almost took her life – and it still takes the life of a child every minute. We need even greater action to #EndMalaria. #UNGA79 | @DigitalGodess theglobalfund.org/en/malaria…

New modelling prepared by @MalariaAtlas for @endmalaria and @ALMA_2030 announced at #UNGA79 If funding for malaria falls at the next @GlobalFund replenishment in 2025, we could see 337,000 more deaths between 2027 and 2029.
