An infographic titled "Funding Cuts Cost Lives and Livelihoods" Beneath there are data points and statistics that outline different funding level scenarios: If 2030 funding target reached, then 865 million cases averted and 1.86 million lives saved. If 20% cut from the Global Fund, then 33 million more cases of malaria and 82,000 more deaths. If there's a severe cut, prevention of malaria collapses, 525 million more cases of malaria and 990,000 more deaths.
We’re at a tipping point in the fight to end malaria. The Global Fund has helped save 70M lives since 2002, but progress is fragile. Cutting support now costs lives and strains health systems.
With sustained investment and strong leadership, #ZeroMalaria can be within reach.
