A central player
The Global Fund is a central player in the progress being achieved on HIV, TB and malaria. It channels resources to help countries fight these diseases. I believe in its impact because I have seen it firsthand.

Quotes and wishes: «Malaria»
Every 35 seconds
I have family members who live in Africa. Because of the family that lives there, I know what is happening in these countries, and it seems so silly to me that diseases like malaria are so prevalent when they are entirely preventable. Yet children are still dying every 35 seconds.

Quotes and wishes: «Malaria»
It’s amazing
When I came to University of California, San Francisco to work on infectious disease, I looked around to different options, and malaria was particularly interesting and fascinating to me. It’s amazing that after 100 years of study of this little parasite, we’ve not been able to effectively control it.

Quotes and wishes: «Malaria»
They did not have the tools to get it done

Bill Gates
Quotes and wishes: «Malaria»
Why can’t we?
Malaria is a disease that kills one to three million people a year. 300 to 500 million cases are reported. It’s estimated that Africa loses about 13 billion dollars a year to the disease. Five dollars can save a life. We can send people to the moon; we can see if there’s life on Mars - why can’t we get five-dollar nets to 500 million people?
