Global malaria progress stalled and not going according to plan, nearly 600,000 deaths in 2023.
Over 75% of deaths in the African region were among children under the age of five!😥
Funding shortfall is a big reason, here money could truly make a difference!

Smoking cessation is always a health act, the earlier the better. If smoked <=8 pack-years (light smoker in image) comparable risk to never smoker for CVD. But for heavy smoker (>8 PY), it takes 25 years to reach never smoker CVD risk. (Look at yellow line in image)

I wonder what the result will look like in 1-2 years? 🤔 Both have some training to do.
