Malaria champions meet in Washington D.C. for the UN Foundation's 'United to Beat Malaria' Leadership Summit.
Transcript
In the centre of Washinton DC – just a five-minute walk from the White House – is a campaign at the forefront of malaria advocacy. The UN Foundation’s ‘United to Beat Malaria’ campaign connects Americans with the global movement to end malaria. Every year, it briefs advocates from across the country on the big challenges facing malaria. Drug and insecticide resistance. Limited funding. The need for resilient healthcare systems. Then, those advocates meet with Members of Congress. Last month, 90 advocates held over 140 meetings with congressional offices to make two important asks: Support a $2bn pledge for The Global Fund, an international resource which funds over 60% of malaria control programmes; and commit more than $820 million to The President’s Malaria Initiative, a US-led programme working with over 25 endemic countries. These advocates, known as ‘champions’ are diverse and committed. We meet them next time in the Extended episode of the Johns Hopkins Malaria Minute.
