At #WHA78, MMV joined African nations & partners to call for urgent action on drug-resistant #malaria. Without investment in new medicines & stronger health systems, resistance could reverse decades of progress. We must act—together. 📖 bit.ly/3HhNzOf

Minister Ibrahima Sy of Senegal warned of resurgence of malaria due to climate variability. He called for stronger lab capacity, climate-trained health staff, and urgent financing, noting national budgets alone can’t absorb the rising burden of climate-related disease.

Dr. Romanello of the Lancet Countdown highlighted a 167% rise in heat-related deaths since the '90s & a 20% expansion in malaria risk areas. As climate change spreads disease, she stressed the need for data-driven adaptation to protect frontline communities & health systems.
