Over the last 20 years, we\u2019ve made significant progress against malaria, with over 600,000 lives saved each year. Last year\u2019s replenishment of The Global Fund, in which nations pledged over $14bn over the next three years to support efforts against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, was hard-won in the face of real challenges. Yet more can and needs to be done to fight this disease. A child dies from malaria \u2013 an entirely preventable and treatable disease \u2013 every two minutes, and an additional two billion dollars a year is needed to truly make progress. So, this year\u2019s World Malaria Day is an opportunity to emphasise the need for sustained political commitment, strong health systems and supply chains, particularly in times of the coronavirus.<\/p><h5><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/h5><p class=\"highwire-cite-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/campaigns\/world-malaria-day\/world-malaria-day-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Malaria Day<\/a><\/p><p class=\"highwire-cite-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications-detail\/world-malaria-report-2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WHO World Malaria Report 2019<\/a><\/p><p class=\"highwire-cite-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobalfund.org\/en\/specials\/2019-10-09-global-fund-sixth-replenishment-conference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Replenishment of The Global Fund<\/a><\/p><p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Image Credits:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/facts-in-pictures\/detail\/malaria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WHO\/Chris Black<\/a><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p><p><strong>Scientific Advisor:<\/strong> Katharine Collins, Radboud University Medical Centre<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A summary of where we are in the fight against malaria and an overview of what more needs to be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16464,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.14 -
