Tracking spending on malaria by source in 106 countries, 2000-16: an economic modelling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sustaining achievements in malaria control and making progress toward malaria elimination requires coordinated funding. We estimated domestic malaria spending by source in 106 countries that were malaria-endemic in 2000-16 or became malaria-free after 2000.
