Malaria Crisis Threatens As Funding Reductions Undermine Gains - Axadle | Stay Informed With Horn Of Africa Headlines
World Malaria Day, observed every year on April 25, shines a spotlight on the urgent need to sustain political commitment and investment in malaria prevention and control, especially in Africa, which bears 94% of global malaria cases and deaths. Uganda has become the 19th African country to introduce the malaria vaccine into routine immunisation. And despite this progress, vulnerable communities, especially children and pregnant women, remain at risk. Funding cuts to malaria programmes put millions more lives at risk as essential services are disrupted, the distribution of insecticide-treated nets and seasonal malaria chemoprevention campaigns are delayed, causing medicine shortages. The World Health Organization warns that the setbacks could reverse decades of gains, particularly as low-income communities bear the brunt of increased healthcare costs.
