Malaria is on a troubling trajectory”. The words of The Global Fund to end AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in their annual results report published this week.
The Global Fund To Fight Aids, TB and Malaria is the world’s largest funder of health programmes to combat malaria around the world. In fact, they’ve invested more than $20 billion (£14.7bn) in efforts to fight the disease since they were set up in 2002. In countries where they invest, malaria deaths had fallen by 29 per cent between 2002 and 2023. And this is despite the populations of these countries rising significantly by nearly 50 per cent.
