A statement by the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALM) on the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting 2018 just ended in London, quoted the Federal Government as saying it would elevate malaria on the national priority list and finance its national malaria elimination strategy.
The statement said Nigeria also pledged an additional US$18.7 million to leverage US$37 million from the Global Fund to distribute 15 million mosquito nets and to support the local manufacture of essential malaria commodities. In the statement, ALMA applauded the commitment by 53 Commonwealth leaders to half the prevalence of malaria across the Commonwealth nations within the next five years. It said the game-changing commitment followed the Malaria Summit, where leaders from malaria-affected countries, businesses, donors and Commonwealth leaders agreed to patner against the scourge of malaria.
The statement noted that apart from the commitment from Nigeria, 11 African countries in the Commonwealth announced new commitment and affirmed their determination to eliminate malaria. It named the countries to include Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, United Republic of Tanzania, The Gambia, Uganda, Rwanda and Zambia.

Useless, senseless and indiscipline decision. Why not invest funds to upgrade medical facilities across the country.

Chai! Broad day light robbery. There was no where excavation of dirt was mentioned the very essential inbreeding of mosquitoes and they want to eradicate mosquito. No amount of mosquito net will hold them back from coming at you with all these filth around.
ReplyDeleteImagine! Of all the issues on ground it is distribution of mosquito nets they are talking about and spending such huge amount on....where some greedy lot would pocket d money and even d common man would not see even a net... They better say something else!

ReplyDeleteGood one but the question is; why now when our election season is less than a year away? What happened to all the previous money used to eradicate malaria? What are all the "free" mosquito nets doing in the market?
