I’ve been the Executive Director of the Global Fund, a worldwide partnership to defeat HIV, tuberculosis and malaria and ensure a healthier, safer, more equitable future for all, since 2018.
Tachifo during a visit to a family affected by malaria in Soa, 20 kilometers north of Cameroon 's capital of Yaoundé.We have new tools, but it is the health workers on the frontline who make the difference against malaria.
However, tools alone will not suffice to end malaria. Their success depends entirely on the strength of the health systems through which they are deployed. Ultimately, these health systems rely on a trained and integrated health workforce to reach and serve the communities most affected by malaria. At the Soa District Hospital, I met with Emily Itondo, a midwife who conducts prenatal visits with women in the community, providing them with malaria prevention medication known as intermittent preventive treatment, or IPTp, and insecticide-treated mosquito nets. When a pregnant woman is infected with malaria, her baby can be born severely underweight, resulting in health complications and even death.
It was Amélie they called at 2 in the morning when Melissa went into labor with her now 3-year-old daughter Gabriella when they couldn’t find anyone else to help and had no means to get to a hospital.
