Huge progress should be applauded but political will & sustained funding will be the key drivers to overcome #malaria this generation @WHO#WorldMalariaReport

But this will only be possible if the UK continues its commitment made at the Commonwealth Heads of Group meeting 2018 to halve malaria by 2023. Lets not waste the investment and progress that has been made - we can do this.
The UK government have been critical in supporting malaria research; in the same way that science has provided the answer to COVID, it can help to eliminate the unnecessary childhood deaths from malaria.
Is #malaria a risk factor for #COVID19?
On #WorldMosquitoDay, we're delighted to announce £1.1 million funding from @gatesfoundation to find out.
Effective malaria control would then help to control the virus - that's a win-win.
