Sustained funding 💵 is critical to keep #malaria prevention and treatment on track. When access to lifesaving tools is delayed or disrupted, lives are lost and progress unravels. It’s the time to give it everything – or risk reversing decades of progress. #WorldMalariaDay #EndMalaria
April 24, 2025 at 2:21 PM
Behind every #malaria death is a story of unequal access — to healthcare, prevention, and resources 🦟 Communities in #Africa bear the heaviest burden. Malaria is a disease of injustice: we must Reinvest. Reimagine. Reignite the fight.
