Congratulations to Ethiopia, which today becomes the 23rd country to introduce the malaria vaccine into its routine immunization programme. This milestone reflects country leadership & effective collaboration with global partners to protect children from a preventable disease.
I've worked for many years on #malaria control in #Ethiopia, and the malaria vaccine launch in Turmi, South Ethiopia Region, makes me deeply happy. Our children deserve protection from malaria and a healthy beginning in life. #HopefulFutures

Tragically, malaria—a preventable and treatable disease—claimed nearly 600,000 lives in 2023 due to a lack of timely and consistent access to essential tools. This disease also undermines health systems' ability to address other health issues. #Malaria #GlobalHealth

To accelerate progress against malaria, we need to keep innovating. Introducing and scaling up quality new tools, boosting supply & demand and cutting costs are key. @GlobalFund, @Gavi, @UNITAID and @PMIgov are shaping markets in this critical area.
Hope is rising in the fight against #malaria! Over the past 2 years, Africa has seen more deliveries of new-generation nets and malaria vaccines for children — key tools to drive down the disease. #EndMalaria

New @WHO report on #malaria: 2.2 billion cases and 12.7 million deaths have been averted since 2000, but the disease remains a serious threat, especially in Africa. No one should die of malaria. We call on the affected countries, but also international donors, to step up
