Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP 🗣️ Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP:

“The UK has advanced the development of new #malaria vaccines and given support to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.”

The battle against #malaria and neglected tropical diseases #NTDs is a global fight to save lives, which demands #unity from the global community.

The actions we take today will define the legacy we leave for future generations.

#Leprosy is one of the leading causes of preventable disability among communicable diseases. Great to see evidence from The Leprosy Mission included in International Development Committee's important new report on Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office's strategy for disability inclusive development👇🙌

Honour to be re-elected Vice Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on #Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases APPG on Malaria and NTDs.

Our AGM served as chance to review recent progress and to discuss what more we need to do in the coming year to overcome these deadly diseases.

#DYK , water 💧is essential in the fight against neglected tropical diseases?

This #WorldWaterDay we highlight the importance of this resource & call for the prioritisation of #water and #sanitation to not only #BeatNTDs but also for the holistic well-being of communities.

Great to speak at THET #UKAfricaHealthSummit

DHSC has invested £15m of funding in the Global Health Workforce Programme to help the development of the health workforce in Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana, which will be supplemented by a further £4.45m over the next 2 years.

At the heart of every strong health system is a vibrant workforce. At the #UKAfricaHealthSummit I announced new investment into the UK’s Global Health Workforce Programme to expand and strengthen the expertise of medical professionals across Africa

Delighted we get a mention in this report and our research is disseminated more broadly 👍

Great to meet Zero Malaria Britain in the constituency last week and talk about the groundbreaking malaria research happening in the UK.

British science has been leading the way in the fight against the disease.

It was brilliant to talk to Zero Malaria Britain in Edgbaston today about the lifechanging malaria research happening across the UK.

I'm backing the brilliance of British science that will help us #FinishTheJob and end malaria in our lifetimes. 🌍🦟

We took our malaria gazebo to Birmingham to talk to locals about the amazing malaria research taking place in the UK.

We were joined by Preet Kaur Gill MP and Steve McCabe who support backing British science to end malaria in our lifetimes.

Fantastic to meet the Ghetto Kids - they are an inspiration.

They want to live in a world free from malaria. So do I.

We must redouble our efforts, because saving lives means more children like Triplets Ghetto Kids can fulfil their potential.
