#Malaria 🦟 still kills a child every 2⃣ minutes. No children should die because they cannot access life-saving services to prevent, detect & treat the disease.

Only 1 in 3 pregnant women 🤰🏿🤰🏾🤰🏽 in Africa has access to the WHO-recommended 3 or more doses of preventive malaria therapy.

Let's increase access to preventive therapy to #EndMalaria 🦟!

The toll of #malaria 🦟 won’t stop as the #COVID19 pandemic evolves. A stall in action now will bring unnecessary suffering and loss of life.
