Strategic investment in Ethiopia keeps diseases from spreading, stabilizes key regions, and more. When America leads, we prevent costly crises and keep threats from reaching our shores. Fiscal responsibility means funding what works. Let's not lose our momentum. @beatmalaria

Vaccines keep surprising us. A @UF study found cancer patients who got an mRNA COVID vaccine near the start of immunotherapy lived almost twice as long. MRNA tech may be paving the way for a universal cancer vaccine.

Malaria now poses a greater threat than HIV or TBāfunding shortfalls could lead to nearly 1M additional deaths by 2030. As @GlobalFund prepares for its replenishment, the message is clear: "If we fail to act, malaria could steal Africa's childrenāand $83 billion of our future."
