The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East (Kasoa), Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor, has called on the government to strengthen domestic financing for malaria vaccination programmes to sustain the significant gains Ghana has made in reducing child mortality.Delivering a statement on the floor of Parliament, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor described the introduction of new malaria vaccines as one of the most remarkable public health breakthroughs of the 21st century, noting that it has dramatically reduced deaths among children under five in countries like Ghana.She indicated that official data shows child mortality linked to malaria has dropped significantly in recent years, demonstrating the effectiveness of preventive immunisation in combating one of Africa’s oldest and deadliest diseases.According to the Awutu Senya East MP, the progress represents more than statistics, as it reflects real lives saved, children returning to school, and families spared the grief of losing young ones to preventable illness.However, she cautioned that the gains could be threatened as international financial support for malaria vaccination programmes begins to decline. She pointed to reductions in funding to global health alliances such as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, warning that this could put thousands of children and pregnant women at risk in countries that rely heavily on donor support.To address the challenge, the MP proposed two key measures: increasing domestic funding for malaria vaccination programmes and strengthening vaccine logistics and cold-chain systems, particularly in rural and hard-to-reach communities.She stressed that investing in vaccination infrastructure would ensure that every child, regardless of location, has access to life-saving immunisation.Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor also commended Ghanaian mothers, nurses, and health workers for their dedication to protecting children through routine immunisation, while urging Parliament to safeguard the progress made in the fight against malaria.She concluded by calling on lawmakers to ensure that the gains achieved in reducing malaria-related child deaths are sustained for future generations.
