For those America haters, and what America does in/for Latin America, the following, from the WHO:

The United States of America is the largest single international funder of malaria
control activities, accounting for an estimated 35% of global funding in 2015,

followed by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (16%),
France (3.2%), Germany (2.4%), Japan (2.3%), Canada (1.7%), the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation (1.2%) and European Union institutions (1.1%).
