SRES173119th Congress
A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of World Malaria Day.
Sponsored By: Senator Roger Wicker
Introduced
Summary
A 90 percent reduction in malaria case incidence and mortality by 2030. This resolution would frame global malaria elimination as a U.S. priority that advances national safety, geopolitical strength, and economic opportunity through continued support for the President’s Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund.
Show full summary
- Families, travelers, and military households would be better protected from overseas exposure and importation, noting about 2,000 malaria cases are imported into the United States each year.
- Endemic-country partners would be pushed toward greater local ownership and graduation from aid, with cited progress such as Rwanda (85% fewer cases since 2019) and India (69% fewer cases since 2017).
- U.S. businesses and exporters stand to gain market access, with an estimate that meeting global malaria targets could expand U.S. exports by about $1.5 billion.
- Public health and research sectors would get a push for new tools — next-generation bed nets, diagnostics, vaccines for young children, spatial repellents, and gene-drive approaches — while the resolution warns that 2023 saw an estimated 263 million cases and 597,000 deaths and that progress has stalled due to resistance, conflict, and funding gaps.
