The global fight against malaria has stalled and requires massive investment as well as political leadership, the UN health agency warned in a report published Friday.

With 400,000 deaths a year and recent progress in the fight against the disease having stalled, the WHO has warned much more has to be done to combat malaria

Alonso expressed deep concern as he highlighted that “we still have in excess of 400,000 deaths every year and 200 million cases.” It said a “massive concerted and coordinated action” was needed to eradicate the disease transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. The report said $34 billion must be invested between now and 2030 to fight malaria, notably by improving health care provision, vaccination and surveillance of the threat.The WHO decried that “global funding for malaria has remained relatively stagnant since 2010.”
