In this new One World One Health podcast by the One Health Trust, Maggie Fox chats with Dr. Karen Barnes about malaria and how it’s vital to improve treatments by combining drugs to catch parasites at various stages of its life cycle in the body: tinyurl.com/33twmtke

Watch the short video of the recent workshop at PAMCA, Africa on critical engagement with models for decision makers. I was fortunate to be facilitating the workshop along with Samson Kiware, Dr. Folashade Agusto and David O’Brochta. Modelling and Simulation Hub, Africa (MASHA).

Today marks the annual commemoration of Southern African Development Community (SADC) Malaria Day #SADCMalariaDay aims to create awareness about #malaria and mobilise the community to participate in malaria control programmes We need new tools to #endmalaria all over Africa🦟

Exciting news! End Malaria Council Zambia recently launched the "Buy A Bicycle Campaign" to assist Ministry of Health Zambia's National #Malaria Control Programme in providing bicycles for CHWs. The council has secured its 1st partnership with powerofbicycles, obtaining a matching fund of US $175,000. 1/2
