Malaria remains one of the leading causes of illness and death in Uganda, affecting families, businesses, and the economy. Despite being preventable and treatable, the disease continues to claim lives especially among children under five and pregnant women.
At a time when malaria interventions face critical financing and implementation gaps, the call is clear: Uganda must strengthen domestic action and partnerships.
Malaria Stops Business. Business Must Stop Malaria
Through Malaria Free Uganda, this year’s campaign places a strong emphasis on private sector leadership.
Malaria affects workforce productivity, increases costs, and disrupts economic growth. Investing in malaria prevention is therefore not just a social responsibility—it is a strategic business priority.
