African malaria coalition warns 30% funding cut could cause 146m additional cases by 2030

The warning highlights the need for increased domestic financing and multisectoral action, but the actual funding shortfall and its impact remain projections. This matters as it signals potential reversal of public health progress in Africa, with implications for regional stability and economic productivity.
