Malaria No More UK@malarianomoreukSep 23
Cutting malaria research funding costs more than lives abroad - scientists say it weakens UK pandemic readiness too. 80% of UK-backed #malaria researchers say the science keeps Britain safer. Via @Independent independent.co.uk/news/healt…

‘Huge’ cuts in malaria funding will hurt UK pandemic planning, leading scientists say

‘The tools we have developed together are not only protecting children’s lives in Africa, but will help us protect and respond to similar risks in the UK,’ says one researcher
