Malaria is a preventable & treatable disease that continues to have devastating impacts worldwide. World Health Organization (WHO) is urging countries to step up efforts to #EndMalaria for a more equitable world. More on Thursday's #WorldMalariaDay: who.int/campaigns/worl…

Achieving the vision of a #malaria-free world will require reaching those who are in the most vulnerable situations: 🔹 Pregnant women 🔹 Children under 5 🔹 Refugees, migrants, internally displaced people amongst others 🔹 Indigenous Peoples #WorldMalariaDay ➡️

On #WorldMalariaDay we're asking leaders to grab the opportunity to save lives and protect the most vulnerable from this deadly disease. We need to get the new malaria vaccines and other tools to the people who need them most by fully funding the @globalfund & Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance #ZeroMalaria

📣Funding call reminder! 7 days left to apply for our Towards Leadership Programme (Cohort 3️⃣), in partnership with Medical Research Council . Deadline: 06 May 2024 Apply here: bit.ly/3POw0qr

📅 Mark your calendars for Diagnostics Day 2024 alongside the World Health Assembly! We look forward to showcasing diagnostic progress & successes as we mark the anniversary of the WHA Resolution on diagnostics. Stay tuned for the full agenda. finddx.org/diagnostics-da…
