Malaria remains serious threat to millions of Africans

Progress has been made but malaria remains a serious threat to the wellbeing of millions of Africans, write Julie Essiam and Joy Phumaphi. 

As African women leading influential and impact-driven organisations — the Ecobank Foundation and the African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) — we are passionate about building a prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable African economy.

But achieving that goal requires accelerating progress toward eradicating the diseases that continue to deplete our communities of their most valuable resource: healthy people. One such disease is malaria.
