The Director-General of World Health Organisation (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has said that with strong political commitment, sustained investment, multisectoral action and community engagement, malaria can be defeated.
According to him, revitalised efforts at all levels, from global policy to community action, will accelerate progress towards malaria elimination. "The history of malaria teaches us a harsh lesson.
When we divert our attention, the disease resurges, taking its greatest toll on the most vulnerable.
But the same history also shows us what's possible; strong political commitment, sustained investment, multisectoral action and community engagement to defeat malaria," he indicated.
