Summary

Make fighting malaria a U.S. foreign‑aid priority. Malaria kills more people each year than any communicable disease except tuberculosis, over 90 percent of cases are in sub‑Saharan Africa, and women and children face higher risk. The President may provide aid on terms he sets to prevent, treat, control, and eliminate malaria and must coordinate with WHO, the Global Fund, HHS (CDC, NIH), and groups.
