The World Health Organisation agrees to a new medicine for malaria.

WHO director Tedros Adhanom says it's an important day.

Mosquitoes carry malaria.

Malaria kills over 400,000 people every year.

Most are children in Africa.

First, they tested the medicine in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi.

It was successful.

Matshidiso Moeti explains.

GlaxoSmithKline first made the medicine in 1987.

Over 30 years later it is ready.

Children in Africa will now get it.

Malaria kills one child every two minutes there.

Pamela Amboko is a nurse in Kenya.

She is giving the medicine.

She tells us it's doing good.

Children must take the medicine four times for good results.

They must do this before they are two years old.

More medicines for malaria are coming soon.

BioNtech and Oxford University are making them.

It's expensive to give medicines.

But, malaria costs Africa $12 billion every year.

So Africa needs them.
