The Chief of the Entomology Branch of the Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Dr. Audrey Lenhart, says inadequate funds is hampering the fight against malaria eradication.
She is, therefore, calling on governments across the globe to have the political will to increase funding for malaria control activities in their countries.
She said malaria elimination was feasible with adequate resources.
Dr. Lenhart made the call at a Seminar organised by the Department of Biomedical Sciences.
