Today we gather to #FightForWhatCounts, hosted by @AfricanUnionUS, @KenyaembassyDC and @ALMA_2030 and organized by @beatmalaria, @endmalaria, @theglobalfight, @CS4MEglobal, @GFadvocates, @ASTMH, @malarianomoreuk, @MalariaNoMore and @aidswatchafrica. Stay tuned for more!
Opening recorded remarks from @ALMA_2030 chair President #UhuruKenyatta congratulating African countries on averting the predicted doubling of malaria deaths during #COVID19 and urge the #GlobalHealth community to get back on track to #EndMalaria, TB, and AIDS in Africa by 2030. 
Kenyatta says the first step in this noble journey to #EndMalaria by 2030 is to address the significant malaria financing gap in African countries. About 63% of activities in national malaria strategic plans in Africa are today currently unfunded.

According to WHO, in 2020 alone 241 million new cases and 627,000 deaths from malaria were recorded globally.
70% of these deaths were among under-5 children in subsaharan Africa, like Nigeria.
Pandemics come and go, but the endemic malaria remains the deadliest infection ever.
