The Global Fund provided emergency funding to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) for its malaria response. This financial support, amounting to US$4.6 million, was approved in July. The aim is to strengthen the country's response to malaria. It is also expected that this aid will bolster DR Congo's response to the Ebola epidemic. Thus, the funding serves a dual purpose within the region's health crisis. Manjulika Das reported on this support.
