About this episode
Ghana's fight against malaria has seen a major breakthrough with a 90 per cent reduction in malaria mortality since 2012.
In this episode of Africa Science Focus, reporter Justice Baidoo speaks to health authorities in Ghana, who attribute this progress to a national strategy and the launch of the R21/Matrix-M vaccine.
Mother-of-three Martha Obeng says her six-month-old son is “strong and very healthy” after receiving the vaccination.
