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. photo of President Kenyatta’s recorded remarks
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.
#AmbassadorAmayo of @KenyaembassyDC and @HMafudze of @AfricanUnionUS speak of the increased funding commitment of African countries to #EndMalaria as well as the significance of continued donor support to the efforts to save the lives of young children from malaria.

@HHS_ASGA of @HHS_Global says the U.S. is proud to host the 7th replenishment of the @GlobalFund and calls for other G7 countries and donors to help meet the replenishment target in order to reduce malaria deaths by two-thirds.
@e_cousens of @unfoundation: Malaria is one of the oldest and deadliest diseases that is entirely preventable and treatable… and we know malaria-free world is achievable.
@DrTedros of @WHO speaks of the realized dream of an effective vaccine against malaria. However, “no single tool will solve the problem of malaria.” Malaria killed 12% more people in 2020 than in 2019; 24 countries have reported an increase in malaria mortality since 2015.
To #EndMalaria, @DrTedros sees need for investments in R&D for new tools, ensuring existing tools are accessible to who need them most, improved disease surveillance, strong health systems, government leadership, and active community engagement. photo of recorded remarks by Dr Tedros

Acting U.S. Global Malaria Coordinator Julie Wallace: @PMIgov’s investments in primary and community health systems not only helped to ensure the continued delivery of critical malaria services, but played an important role in our response to #COVID19. Julie Wallace on the panel
Acting U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Dr. #AngeliAchrekar speaking on the #FightForWhatCounts panel on how bilateral and multilateral investments in TB, AIDS, and malaria complement each other and contribute to building resilient health systems. Dr. Achrekar speaks on the panel
@JoyPhumaphi_ of @ALMA_2030 closes #FightForWhatCounts #WorldMalariaDay2022 event: Endemic countries are in the driver’s seat to #EndMalaria. Voices echoed this week calling for equity and access through replenishment to the @GlobalFund. Zero malaria starts with all of us.

We’re on the Hill tonight to discuss how to #EndMalaria. Thank you @MaEllenSirleaf @PowerUSAID @DonaldKaberuka @ChrisCoons @SenatorWicker for coming together to reinvigorate the fight against one of the world's oldest and deadliest diseases.
@SenatorWicker: We are here to tonight to talk about a disease that has killed hundreds of millions… but 10.6 million lives have been saved because of the efforts in this room.
@SenatorWicker: I do not apologize one bit for saying that our fight against malaria is a national security issue.
