We're helping @minofhealthug & partners leverage #SMC delivery for the R21 malaria #vaccine rollout. Karamoja has one of Uganda’s highest malaria burdens & integration of these interventions could cut severe #malaria in children under 5 by 70%. Read more: brnw.ch/21wTd0j

In light of last month's #WorldHealthAssembly, our Chief Executive @jktibenderana discusses how behavioural science is helping us address psychological and social barriers that prevent correct and consistent use of #malaria interventions. Read our blog ➡️ brnw.ch/21wT7HA

A new #malaria drug will be rolled out across 8 African nations.💊 Developed by @Novartis, it's the first to be made for infants under 4.5kg, a group often excluded from clinical trials. Malaria Consortium's @JaneAchan_Edwin reflects in our news story: brnw.ch/21wUo8C

Through community-led health solutions, advancing innovative research, championing evidence-based policies & forging strong partnerships, our new strategy lays the foundation for long-term impact against #malaria and health inequities.✨ Learn more ➡️ brnw.ch/21wUm0n

Our new strategy is here! By forging strong partnerships & influencing policy, investing in our people to foster innovation, & championing locally led delivery, we're building a malaria-free world where equitable healthcare enables communities to thrive: brnw.ch/21wUf9E

The recent @gavi replenishment pledges represent vital progress in strengthening global immunisation. But a huge funding shortfall threatens decades of hard-won gains; without action, millions of children could be left vulnerable to preventable diseases: brnw.ch/21wU4vO

We recently met with state officials in #GombeState, #Nigeria to discuss the SARMAAN II project. Supported by @gatesfoundation, the project aims to reduce mortality rates for children aged 1−59 months from illnesses like #malaria and #pneumonia. #childsurvival #globalhealth

Our new blog explores our takeaways from the Alliance for Malaria Prevention campaign digitalisation meeting in #Nairobi, where we joined stakeholders to discuss how #DigitalHealth tech is making health campaigns more efficient, equitable & sustainable ➡️ brnw.ch/21wTUib

At the @APMEN Climate Workshop, stakeholders from across Asia Pacific discussed how #ClimateChange is impacting the fight against vector-borne diseases, from floods driving #malaria & #dengue surges to rising temperatures increasing transmission areas. ➡️brnw.ch/21wTPSn

Our SEND — Malaria Vaccine project w/ @minofhealthug, @WHO, @UNICEF and @gavi is supporting introduction of the #malaria vaccine into Uganda's national immunisation programme, protecting under fives in #Karamoja from this deadly disease. ✨ Read more ➡️ brnw.ch/21wTFAy

Today marks 3 years of the #KigaliDeclaration on Neglected Tropical Diseases! These preventable, treatable diseases affect 1 billion+ people globally. With declines in foreign aid, mobilising political will, resources & action to #BeatNTDs is more vital than ever.

This #WorldRefugeeDay we highlight how our work w/ @SouthSudanMoH, @UNICEF, @WHO & @GiveWell is ensuring access to life-saving #malaria prevention & treatment in #SouthSudan, where refugees from conflict-affected Sudan live w/ limited healthcare access ➡️ brnw.ch/21wTyez

This week's @AsiaDengue Summit in Manila brings together experts & policymakers to discuss the path towards zero #dengue deaths. As part of @LSHTM_RAFT, we're presenting posters on arboviral preparedness & surveillance/control in #BurkinaFaso, #Cameroon, #CôteDIvoire & #Tanzania.

Closeout meetings took place recently for the Boma Health Initiative in Warrap & Northern Bahr el Ghazal, #SouthSudan. Funded by @UNICEF & in partnership w/ Malaria Consortium, it focused on case management of malaria, pneumonia & diarrhoea, plus hygiene & nutrition education.

In our new blog, explore how, during severe flooding in 2024 across #Chad, #Nigeria and #SouthSudan, our dedicated teams were able to ensure children under five continued to receive life-saving seasonal #malaria chemoprevention. 💊🦟 Read it here ➡️ brnw.ch/21wSYLG

The expansion of irrigated rice production for food security could be at odds w/ #MalariaElimination goals.🌾 In this @LSHTM_RAFT webinar, experts explore potential ways to overcome this complex health challenge. Watch the recording➡️ brnw.ch/21wSX2P @GlobalVectorHub

Malaria cases fell by 2.2 billion between 2000 & 2023. Sudden funding cuts mean progress sits on a knife-edge. Will you help our teams in Africa & Asia continue their efforts to eliminate malaria? Discover our work: brnw.ch/21wSS3V Donate now: brnw.ch/21wSS3W

Together w/ Mozambique NMCP & partners, we rolled out seasonal #malaria chemoprevention campaign digitalisation across Nampula in 2024. Our learning brief explores lessons from the process, from platform development & training to drug distribution ➡️ brnw.ch/21wSQ9E

Last month we co-hosted a webinar w/@AI_HealthLabMak & @MinofHealthUG where panellists discussed how #AI could improve #malaria diagnosis & surveillance accuracy, intervention strategies, & support data-informed decision-making. 👀 Watch the recording: brnw.ch/21wSNgt

If left unchecked, #malaria drug resistance could take a toll on human lives, health systems & #economies. At #WHA78, we're calling for urgent action, #innovation, investment & coordinated global support to stay one step ahead.
