Today is World Malaria Day, this year focusing on innovating to reduce the malaria disease burden. We know the importance of innovation, especially in an age when malaria rates are increasingly influenced by environmental factors - climate, human behaviour, historic interventions - all of which have a knock-on effect on the mosquitoes that spread this disease, that evolve and adapt to counter our efforts.
In response, we too have to innovate, adapt and respond with better tools and strategies. We're constantly working to integrate innovative research and digital tools and approaches that reduce the burden of malaria and deliver sustainability on the pathway to malaria elimination and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). We continue to be hopeful that malaria elimination is within reach for all countries - providing there is sustained investment and global commitment.
With our regular updates this month, we've showcased our work in delivering large-scale malaria campaigns to reduce the malaria burden, as well as designing and managing robust monitoring and evaluation studies of these campaigns. You can also read about our other latest news and publications. |
