Most #malaria cases occur in rural areas but the recent migration of A. stephensi, an urban mosquito species from S. Asia & the Arabian Peninsula to sub-Saharan Africa puts millions more at risk. #ICYMI , read World Health Organization (WHO)’s guide on stopping the species in Africa: who.int/publications/i…

“Women have to be at the table, but also be given the opportunity to become leaders to reshape the future of malaria and vector-borne disease control.” 💬🎤 Dr Corine Karema Corine K

Day 2 of #PAMCA2023 starts with an empowering focus on women’s leadership in malaria control 👩‍🔬

You're right David Reddy, the impact of #climatechange on malaria elimination effort is no longer a manageable case. We must take action now else we lose the successes already gained in the fight against #malaria .

#Kenya has been on the path to #zeromalaria , but #climatechange is putting previously malaria-free communities at risk. Bethlehem & Larry Madowo write for CNN about how, without swift action, this could affect the country's elimination goals. edition.cnn.com/2023/09/07/afr…

The The Global Fund 2023 Results Report is now available.

Since 2002, the Global Fund partnership has saved 59 MILLION lives.

Working together, we're accelerating the fight to defeat HIV, TB and malaria.

We won't stop until the job is finished.

My Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) colleague George Jagoe spoke at #MedTrop about TQ, primaquine & G6PD testing: 'Brazil is the first country to adopt this enhanced P. vivax management framework. The experience towards scale-up will be important for neighbouring countries like Peru & Colombia”.

On 26 Sept, @SMCAlliance’s M&E Subgroup is hosting a webinar, “Decoding the impact of SMC: Data analysis, evaluation and post-intervention insights”, coordinated by @fightingmalaria. It will be available in English, French and Portuguese. Register: bit.ly/3sVd7tm

So exited on the first day of a 3-month visit to Medicines for Malaria Venture - an amazing global health partnership. I am so looking forward to working with the fantastic colleagues here who are seeking to help discover, develop & deliver new antimalarials.

.The Lancet Infectious Diseases just published a paper on seasonal malaria chemoprevention paired with RTS,S malaria vaccine. Phase 3 results from #BurkinaFaso and #Mali show significant #malaria protection out to 5 years. Read the study: bit.ly/3R2pJcs

.RBM Partnership CEO Michael Adekunle Charles spoke to Bukola afeni for TheCable about the urgent need to reduce the malaria death rate and the Partnership’s collaborative work to this end #zeromalaria . Read the interview: bit.ly/3OXHPJP #RC73AFRO #WorldMosquitoDay

.BIRBA Windeyam Jean wrote for @targetmalaria about how #climatechange and #malaria are causing a “formidable public health crisis”, and what steps stakeholders, including researchers, communities & governments can take to combat this threat: bit.ly/45uUNG6

In this @natureportfolio interview, Rob Seder (@NIAIDNews) and Kassoum Kayentao (@MrtcEntomo) spoke to Cassandra Willyard about their groundbreaking research on #malaria prevention through monoclonal antibodies. Read:

#Pressrelease
@Anvisa, #Brazil 's regulatory agency, has approved MMV and GSK's single-dose tafenoquine for children above 2 years, making Brazil the first endemic country to do so. We are committed to ensuring its availability for all at-risk children: mmv.org/newsroom/news-…

The 73rd World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Committee for Africa ( #RC73AFRO ) is in full swing in Gaborone,🇧🇼.

On the sidelines of this meeting, we're excited to have ALMA's Joy Phumaphi & Amb. Sheila Tlou join partners to discuss funding for #zeromalaria on 29 Aug.

Stay tuned for updates!

Drug resistance could endanger decades of progress against #malaria . We must research new drugs & continue using available, effective meds. Diversifying the use of antimalarials, particularly first-line treatments, is 1 way to help maintain their efficacy: mmv.org/newsroom/news-…

#Climatechange is intensifying the spread of diseases like #malaria . As temperatures rise, mosquitoes thrive in new territories, putting new communities at risk. Tackling the connection between climate & malaria is crucial for #globalhealth security. #WorldMosquitoDay

The international development sector has rightfully placed a renewed focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. In 2020, Blessing Omakwu wrote about going beyond lip service to embody these values, both as individuals and as organizations – worth a reread:

Well done GSK & Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV)!

#MalariaFreeBrazil #HealthInnovation

This Sunday marked #WorldMosquitoDay . The mosquito carries diseases like #malaria that are potentially deadly. Learn more about how #climatechange , mosquitoes and malaria are linked and what we can do about it in Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV)’s video:

China’s success in eliminating #malaria has lessons that can be applied in many contexts, such as strong governance, constant capacity building & demand-oriented research. Read more in BMJ Global Health: bit.ly/3L7tc5N
