Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa, malaria, one of the oldest diseases in the world, has a disproportionate effect on pregnant women and young people under the age of five.
For a pregnant woman, her fetus and newborn, malaria infection carries risks.
Calling for immediate intensification to strengthen malaria coverage for pregnant women in Africa, the Roll Back Malaria Working Group, RBM Partnership to End Malaria Working Group, is calling on fitness leaders and decision makers to improve access to intermittent preventive remedies for pregnancy, IPTp, among eligible pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa.
Together with stakeholders, the RBM Alliance is driving a long-term 3-dose ICT policy to succeed in all eligible women in sub-Saharan Africa through 2025.
By 2019, according to the RBM Partnership, about 11 million pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa, or 29% of all pregnancies, were inflamed by malaria.
Worse, nearly 900,000 children in Nigeria and 37 other African countries were born with low birth weight due to malaria pregnancy, while children under the age of five still account for two-thirds (67%) malaria deaths worldwide.
By providing a review of malaria status, the RBM Alliance announced that more than 90% of major malaria campaigns are underway in most malaria-affected countries despite demanding situations presented through COVID-19.
While life-saving malaria campaigns planned for 2020 are on track across Africa, helping millions of others against the disease and preventing a sharp increase in malaria cases and deaths remains paramount.
In September 2020, the Global Fund’s 2020 Results Report highlighted that deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria could be shot in the next 12 months as a result of COVID-19.
Similarly, The Lancet has published new model research that found that really extensive progress in reducing the burden of malaria in Africa since 2000 may be at risk if the COVID-19 pandemic affects the availability of primary malaria interventions.
Researchers at the University of Oxford also warned that Africa beware of a new species of Asian mosquito that can spread malaria in urban areas of Africa.
In recent times, the RBM Partnership has urged, despite national closures, all countries to mobilize to continue rescue campaigns, ensure the availability of antimalarial products and the availability and accessibility of rescue tools.
