Does Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria Matter? As we observe World Mosquito Day this August, we reflect on our ongoing efforts to combat malaria, a major health challenge in Uganda and globally. This year’s theme, "Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria for a More Equitable World," highlights the urgent need for action and the disparities in access to care. We are proud to have collaborated with MACIS, the @Uganda Civil Society Alliance Against Malaria (UCAAM), the National Malaria Control Division (NMCD) of the Ministry of Health, and Malaria Partners on several initiatives aimed at eliminating malaria. We remain committed to eliminating malaria through initiatives like promoting insecticide-treated nets, supporting community health workers, and advocating for increased resources. Malaria is not just a health issue; it’s a social justice issue. Everyone deserves access to life-saving interventions, regardless of their circumstances. As we continue our work this month and beyond, we call on all stakeholders; governments, NGOs, and communities, to unite in this fight. Together, we can achieve a malaria-free Uganda and a more equitable world.

--- 🦟 Today marks World Malaria Day, a poignant reminder of the ongoing battle against one of the world's deadliest diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022, malaria claimed over 600,000 lives globally, with millions more affected. The impact of malaria goes beyond health, affecting economies, especially in Africa. It contributes to productivity losses, healthcare expenditures, and economic disparities, particularly in regions where malaria is endemic. As a co-founder of malaria solution in Kenya and A Malaria Free World Champion, IOur goal is to provide effective tools and support to combat malaria, improving healthcare outcomes and livelihoods in our communities. A heartfelt thank you to all our partners for their invaluable support in making this project a reality. Together, we're taking significant strides towards a malaria-free future. On this World Malaria Day, let's renew our commitment to ending malaria, advocating for innovative solutions, and fostering partnerships for global health equity. #WorldMalariaDay #EndMalaria #HealthEquity #Innovation #GlobalHealth ---

According to the 2021 Global Malaria Report, Over 90% of malaria cases and deaths occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, and children under five years old and pregnant women are the most affected groups, with children under five accounting for approximately two-thirds of all malaria deaths globally. Everyone has the right to quality, timely, and affordable services to prevent, detect, and treat malaria, yet this is not a reality for all! This year's World Malaria Day focus "Accelerating the fight against malaria for a more equitable world" signifies ramping up our efforts to combat malaria with fairness in mind. It's crucial to ensure that everyone, regardless of their location or financial status, has access to essential resources and treatment to prevent malaria. This includes distributing mosquito nets, medications, and other support to those most in need. By prioritizing this approach, we're not only saving lives but also striving towards creating a more just global community where everyone has an equal chance of maintaining good health.🤝 #WorldMalariaDay #EndMalaria #MalariaFreeFuture #FightMalaria #ZeroMalaria #MalariaPrevention #MalariaAwareness #HealthEquity #GlobalHealth #togetheragainstmalaria
