[Ellen Johnson Sirleaf @MaEllenSirleaf]

On #WorldMalariaDay let us remember that 95% of malaria cases are in sub-Saharan Africa. We must not take our foot off the gas in the fight to prevent and treat #Malaria. We need more investments & innovations to tackle this crisis that disproportionately affects Africa.
