Additional Information / Shotlist Mothers sit beside their children receiving malaria care at the MSF supported hospital in Gummi, Zamfara State, where malaria remains a constant and growing threat, especially for young children and pregnant women. During peak rainy months, longer transmission seasons and delayed care-seeking often overwhelm health facilities. MSF supports free malaria diagnosis and treatment, expanded inpatient care, and strengthened triage and laboratory services, while also working with communities to promote prevention through mosquito net use and participation in Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention. Early action remains essential to protect families, reduce severe illness, and save lives.
