"I'd like to acknowledge the US's contribution - it's been exemplary. It's a battle that can't be fought by themselves, which is why they've partnered with agencies and institutions from around the world." - Dr. Luis G. Castellanos, @pahowho

"Global fight to #endmalaria has been very successful in GMS, which currently the malaria cases have reduced by 97% between 2000-2020 with great support from the US. In thailand we are near elimination." - Dr. Prayuth Sudathip

"US is very important in the war on #malaria. If you look at the investments they've made through @PMIgov and to support the @GlobalFund, these programs have been very critical to get us to a turning point where we can say we're making progress. - Anthony Okara, @ALMA_2030

In the last two decades,🌍efforts against #malaria have reached a tipping point, allowing leaders to go beyond just controlling this disease and instead commit to ending it for good. Let your leaders know why you think they should support the fight to #endmalaria!

"We have support from both @GlobalFund and @PMIgov in the Mekong subregion and we work closely with them to harmonize approaches and resources to meet the technical needs of our countries." - Dr. Prayuth Sudathip

"I want to thank @PMIgov and @GlobalFund not just their financial but also technical support. We have reached a level of coordination and collaboration that has eased some of the burden on our region." - Dr. Luis G. Castellanos, @pahowho

“Surveillance systems are the backbone of #malaria elimination programs... Malaria surveillance is not only for elimination of malaria but also to prevent the resurgence of malaria in the future.” - Dr. Prayuth Sudathip, Thailand's National Malaria Control Program

"In Thailand we have support from the @GlobalFund and @PMIgov. They help us to harmonize approaches and also harmonize resources to meet the technical needs for our country.” - Dr. Prayuth Sudathip, Thailand's National Malaria Control Program

"Leadership from the President of Kenya as chair of @ALMA_2030 decided to prioritize the fight against #malaria. He contacted leaders to ensure the campaign is back on track while attending to the fight against the pandemic." - Ambassador Anthony Okara, @ALMA_2030

"How did we manage to do this? We learnt two very important lessons from previous outbreaks. We suffered from #ebola and the impact it had on access to services was so devastating." - Ambassador Anthony Okara, @ALMA_2030

"COVID-19 initially did derail the war on #malaria, especially in Africa. However there was a good response and we've managed to get preventive services back on track." - Ambassador Anthony Okara, @ALMA_2030

“The beauty is that fighting and investing in #malaria is often investing in the health systems. The benefits are clear.” - Ambassador Anthony Okara, @ALMA_2030

More countries than ever before are closer to elimination and a child today has a greater chance of survival than at any point in history! Celebrate this progress with us as we share with our leaders why we want to be the generation to #endmalaria. bit.ly/2Xc5KhM
