This deadly yet preventable vector-borne disease remains endemic in more than 80 countries and territories worldwide, including Nigeria. In 2019, malaria claimed over 400,000 lives.
On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us that it is possible to innovate and rapidly deploy the most effective tools to combat killer diseases. At the beginning of the pandemic, after a few weeks of uncertainty, national malaria programmes started gathering political and financial support, while continuing on the ground activities, in creative ways, to minimise social interactions.
