The realization of zero malaria status by African countries by 2030 could be within reach thanks to technical support provided by China to help combat the tropical disease, a World Health Organization (WHO) official has said.
Akpaka Kalu, Team leader, Tropical and Vector-borne Diseases Program at WHO Regional Office for Africa said strategic collaboration with China has reinvigorated the continent's battle with malaria.
"We are proud of China's support in the fight against malaria in Africa. The greatest fruit of our collaboration is the willingness of China to offer support that is adaptable to our local context," Kalu said during a virtual interview on Friday.
