African Health Ministers Commit to Accelerated Action to End Malaria Deaths

Ministers of Health from African countries with the highest burden of malaria made a commitment on 6 March 2024 to take accelerated action to end deaths from the disease. The pledge was made during a gathering in Yaoundé, Cameroon, where they signed a declaration to provide stronger leadership and increased domestic funding for malaria control programs.

The African region accounts for 95% of malaria deaths globally, and the ministers pledged to sustainably and equitably address the threat of malaria in the region. The declaration also includes commitments to ensure further investment in data technology, apply the latest technical guidance in malaria control and elimination, and enhance malaria control efforts at the national and sub-national levels.

This significant step aims to address the pressing issue of malaria mortality in Africa, with a focus on collaborative efforts and sustainable solutions. The declaration signifies a united front in the fight against malaria and highlights the importance of leadership, funding, and technological advancements in combatting the disease.

By prioritizing these commitments, the ministers aim to make substantial progress in reducing malaria mortality rates and ultimately work towards the goal of ending deaths from malaria in the African region.
