Zimbabwe is facing a severe malaria outbreak, with cases and deaths tripling compared to last year. Experts attribute the resurgence to the withdrawal of USAID funding, impacting research and the distribution of mosquito nets. The country has recorded 115 outbreaks in 2025, a stark contrast to only one in the previous year. The cuts, initiated six months ago, are jeopardizing decades of progress in malaria control and putting thousands at risk across Zimbabwe.
