Introduced

Summary

Reducing the global malaria burden is presented as a U.S. national interest and this resolution would commemorate World Malaria Day while urging continued American leadership and support for new tools and partnerships. It would highlight stalled global progress, promising technologies, and the roles of the President's Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Show full summary
  • Families and children: It would say reducing malaria saves lives and improves maternal and child health, noting country progress like Rwanda's 85 percent fewer cases since 2019.
  • Travelers and U.S. personnel: It would point out about 2,000 imported malaria cases in the United States each year and argue that control efforts protect travelers and deployed service members.
  • Researchers and the U.S. economy: It would welcome public-private partnerships for new prevention and treatment tools and cites an estimate that U.S. exports could grow by about $1.5 billion if malaria reduction targets are met by 2030.
  • Endemic countries and aid policy: It would commend progress in endemic countries and support increasing local ownership with the goal of graduating programs from aid to self sufficiency.
