Global Fund Faces $5bn Shortfall As France Slashes Support, EU Delays Pledge - Health Policy Watch Battered by a 58% cut from France, a delayed EU pledge, and a U.S. pullback, the Global Fund faces a shortfall, securing only $12.64 billion against its $18 billion target.

The #GlobalFund faces a significant funding shortfall compounded by cuts & delays from major Western donors. It secured $12.64bn in its 8th replenishment, falling short of its $18bn target which would have prevented roughly 400m new #AIDS, #TB & #malaria infections between 2027 & 2029. For more ⬇️

One Key Protein Could Be a Powerful New Target Against Malaria Malaria killed about 610,000 people globally in 2024, with most deaths occurring in Africa, where young children remain the most vulnerable. Now, scientists report a potentially game-changing weakness they've found in the parasites that cause the disease. The findings provide insights into these parasites' complex biology, the authors of the new study explain, and may help identify new ways to sabotage them. Early forms of malaria-like parasites date back to the Cretaceous, and despite the advent of vaccines, the ancient scourge still plagues humans across ever larger regions of the Earth. Along with ongoing vaccine development, researchers are searching for any vulnerabilities to exploit in the parasites or the mosquitoes that transmit them to humans. "What makes this discovery so exciting is that the malaria parasite's 'Aurora' complex is very different from the version found in human cells," says senior author Rita Tewari, a parasite cell biologist at the University of Nottingham. Malaria is caused by protists, single-celled eukaryotic organisms that are not classified as animals, fungi, or plants. These specific protists belong to the genus Plasmodium, which includes more than 150 named species that infect a range of vertebrates. Only five species cause malaria in humans, but their impact...

Uganda Extends Successful Malaria Intervention To Older Children - Health Policy Watch KAMPALA, Uganda – After five years of focusing on malaria prevention through Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) in the Karamoja region in northeastern

🦟Seasonal #malaria chemoprevention has already reached millions of children across Africa. Uganda’s decision to extend the intervention to older children aims to close immunity gaps & reduce malaria transmission.

Malaria vaccination reduces hospitalisations, deaths of children in northwestern Nigeria One year after the malaria vaccine was added to the routine immunisation schedule in Nigeria’s Kebbi State, health authorities and caregivers are counting the gains.

The R21 malaria #vaccine rollout in Kebbi State, 🇳🇬 Nigeria, has cut child #malaria hospitalisations by half 🦟💉. Over 200K children received a first dose and under-five mortality fell from 8.97% to 6.13% in 2025 📉👶.
It’s a real-world vaccine impact in one of the world’s hardest-hit malaria regions 🌍
