In this picture, Muhammad is six months old and has just tested positive for malaria – one of the world’s leading causes of death among children under five. He was one of hundreds of thousands in Pakistan who contracted the mosquito-borne disease after mass flooding left almost a third of the country underwater. Thankfully, his mother, Umaida, was able to treat him after receiving malaria medication at a WHO-supported mobile health clinic in Balochistan. The World Health Organization (WHO) was part of the health response teams that helped mobilize services in the aftermath of the flooding. It is health responses like these that prevent children from dying of treatable diseases like malaria. By acting swiftly in health emergencies, WHO is a force for good health in Pakistan, and around the world. This Giving Season, your generosity can bring health and hope to families like Umaida’s in emergencies worldwide. You give. WHO acts. Lives are saved.
