Global Fund has invested $4.8 billion in the fight against HIV, Tuberculosis, and malaria in Nigeria from 2003 to 2024
The .The Executive Director of the Country Coordinating Mechanism of the Global Fund disclosed this at a media-focused meeting organised by the Society in Malaria Control, Immunization, and Nutrition on Sunday in Abuja.
Also speaking, the National Coordinator of Civil Society in Malaria Control, Immunization, and Nutrition , Ayo Ipinmoye, said that in the wake of mounting evidence suggesting a strong correlation between malaria incidence and changes in temperature, rainfall, and humidity, the World Health Organization and World Meteorological Organization have identified malaria as one of the most climate-sensitive diseases.
He stated that in regions already affected by the disease, the impact of climate on malaria is mainly related to changing rainfall patterns or increased flooding risk. In a typical year, most malaria cases are recorded when rainfall peaks during the months of May to July. According to him, areas of stagnant water created by heavy rainfall provide breeding grounds for malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
