RWANDA

Rwanda and the President’s Malaria Initiative first teamed up to fight malaria in 2007. Early on, Rwanda celebrated remarkable progress combatting the disease, but encountered a spike in cases 2012-2016. With increased investments and scaled-up interventions by PMI and the Global Fund to Fight AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Rwanda fought back against the resurgence. Between 2015-2018, the nation drove a 40% reduction of severe malaria cases and a 43% reduction in malaria-related deaths.
