History[edit]

Malaria No More was established in 2006 by a coalition of leaders from the private and public sectors. The organization was launched at the White House Summit on Malaria, with the goal of ending malaria deaths in Africa by 2015. Although this goal was not fully achieved, significant progress has been made in reducing malaria mortality rates.

Since its inception, Malaria No More has contributed to significant reductions in malaria cases and deaths. The organization has played a key role in:

Distributing millions of insecticide-treated bed nets.
Supporting the delivery of life-saving treatments.
Raising global awareness and funding for malaria control efforts.

Challenges[edit]

Despite progress, Malaria No More faces several challenges in its mission:

Drug resistance: The emergence of drug-resistant strains of malaria poses a significant threat to control efforts.
Insecticide resistance: Resistance to insecticides used in bed nets and indoor spraying is increasing.
Funding gaps: Sustained funding is necessary to continue progress and prevent resurgence.

Future Directions[edit]

Malaria No More continues to adapt its strategies to address emerging challenges. The organization is focusing on:

Supporting the development of new vaccines and diagnostic tools.
