Coronavirus or malaria, tuberculosis and HIV?

 


World Health Organization warns that the fight against COVID-19 is hampering efforts to combat other major diseases.

More than seven million lives have been saved from malaria in the past 20 years, but progress in fighting the disease has been hindered as efforts are diverted to the coronavirus pandemic.

The World Health Organization (WHO) expects the target for reducing malaria to be significantly missed this year as funding shortfalls are putting thousands of lives at risk.
