The wife of the governor of Anambra State, Mrs Nonye Soludo, has described the fight against malaria as a shared responsibility that calls for consistent awareness creation, action and collective commitment.

In a message to mark this year's World Malaria Day, Mrs Soludo urged all stakeholders to continue to play their part with the seriousness it deserved, stressing that a malaria-free society is possible.

She said: "Today, on World Malaria Day, we are reminded that the fight against malaria is a shared responsibility; one that calls for awareness, action, and collective commitment.

Malaria remains a major public health challenge, especially for our children and pregnant women. Yet, it is preventable and treatable.

By taking simple but effective steps, such as using insecticide-treated nets, keeping our environment clean, and seeking prompt medical care, we can save lives and protect our communities, too."

She said that the Anambra State government is committed to leading in the front and supporting initiatives that promote healthier living and reduce the burden of malaria.

"Together, we can build a future where no family loses a loved one to a disease we have the power to prevent", Mrs Soludo stated.
