Zim set to receive US$14m from US malaria initiative

ZIMBABWE is set to receive US$14 million from the United States President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) this year as malaria continues to be a major health problem in the country.

The PMI currently supports 24 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and three programmes across the Greater Mekong sub-region in southeast Asia to control and eliminate malaria.

Zimbabwe began receiving support as a PMI partner country in 2011.
