Message from the Chief Executive
Everyone should be able to access and use quality health services, regardless of where they live or who they are — that’s the true measure of a strong, effective health system. Strong health systems recognise and actively address the barriers that prevent people from seeking or receiving care. These barriers may stem from socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or mobility. Individuals may be migrant workers, displaced by conflict or climate events, part of nomadic and pastoralist communities, or belong to a marginalised group — each with unique needs that must be understood and met.
At their core, resilient health systems are government led and community driven. They invest in tools and approaches tailored to local realities, strengthen individuals to lead health initiatives, and strengthen the capacity of health workers and volunteers to connect communities with health services. Trust and acceptance grow when services are responsive and inclusive.
These systems are also grounded in strong surveillance and quality data use, enabling early detection and rapid response to outbreaks and emerging threats. They evolve through continuous learning and evidence, and thrive on multisectoral collaboration. Strong health systems are not just built — they are nurtured, adapted and sustained to reach everyone, everywhere.
In 2024‒2025, Malaria Consortium demonstrated resilience and a strong commitment to partnerships in the face of funding uncertainty. By working closely with national governments, donors and local stakeholders, we adapted programmes, prioritised impact and continued to deliver essential health services. Our collaborative approach ensured that we remained focused on supporting country-led solutions and maintaining progress towards long-term health goals.
In response to significant funding cuts to international development assistance, African and Asian governments and their partners have shown strong leadership and determination to protect hard-won health gains. Many have stepped up domestic commitments, reprioritised budgets and worked closely with implementing partners to adapt programmes and ensure continuity of essential services. This collective effort reflects a growing movement toward greater self-reliance and resilience in health systems.
We are at a pivotal moment. Now is the time to refocus our efforts, ensuring that every action we take is driven by our commitment to maximise impact for those who need it most — so that together, we can create lasting change and a healthier, more equitable future for all.
