“Winning against malaria isn’t just about killing the parasite — it’s about rebuilding entire systems from the inside out.
In this urgent thought leadership piece on GHO, James Tibenderana, CEO of Malaria Consortium, dismantles the dangerous assumption that malaria control and malaria elimination are the same fight.
He exposes the brutal last-mile truth: that missed fevers, delayed responses, and fading community vigilance can unravel decades of progress overnight. He challenges Africa’s health systems to shift from episodic wins to institutionalised excellence, in surveillance, governance, and behavioural change.
And he positions Uganda as the continent’s most critical test case for what sustained elimination actually demands.
If Uganda can crack this, Africa can. The blueprint is being written right now — read the full piece via the comments.
