Malaria No More UK

📉 Today's 2024 World Malaria Report shows progress: malaria deaths dropped in 2023, and since 2000 we’ve averted 2.2 billion cases and saved 12.7 million lives. But with cases rising, extreme weather, and insecticide resistance, the race to #ZeroMalaria is far from over. Women and girls bear the greatest burden of this disease, often as caregivers. Yet, they’re also at the heart of the fight to end malaria—leading as scientists, community health workers, and advocates. Their efforts are saving lives and transforming communities. Together, let’s invest in and support the women driving change in the fight against malaria 💪 Find out more about the World Malaria Report 👉https://bit.ly/4f7CAm1

This is big news for the malaria fight 🦟 🚫

The entire WHOAFRO family is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Faustine Ndugulile, Regional Director-Elect of the World Health Organization African Region. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, the government and people of Tanzania.

The fight against malaria requires innovative solutions to tackle growing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. 🦟💡 Our core funding for the Ifakara Health Institute (IHI) is a critical investment in discovering new tools to save lives. IHI plays a key role in our vector control pipeline, rigorously testing new active ingredients to address this pressing challenge.

The global race to end malaria is also a race against antimalarial drug resistance. The only way to win this race and cross the finish line is to stay one step ahead of resistance - building partnership, driving innovation and delivering next-generation antimalarial drugs. 💊✨ We stand with Medicines for Malaria Venture and partners working towards a shared goal of #ZeroMalaria 🙌 https://lnkd.in/dRrHzSwn

The Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania is a hub for innovative efforts to combat malaria. Supported by UK Aid and British science their work includes designing devices aimed at controlling mosquito populations and preventing malaria transmission - including gene drive technology. The work here shows what is possible through international collaboration and that with the right investment, we will have the tools to reach #ZeroMalaria https://lnkd.in/euttVesA

We're excited to see the Zero Malaria Experience featured in the The Guardian. Our CEO writes about the groundbreaking vaccines, next-gen bed nets, and game-changing tools like gene drive tech that with investment will #EndMalaria. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/g3A95Umd

If we continue as we are, global targets to end the epidemic of malaria by 2030 will be missed. But scientists at the Ifakara Health Institute in Tanzania are determined to turn the tide, and British-backed labs like these could be cooking up the future of the malaria fight -- groundbreaking innovations forged by African science. https://lnkd.in/euttVesA

Malaria remains one of the world’s deadliest diseases, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable communities in low-income African countries. It poses a significant threat, particularly to young children under five, many of whom face potential long-term developmental complications, even if they survive the disease.   𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. Unfortunately, the stagnation of malaria funding only increases the risks for these young lives, threatening their bright futures.   Withdrawing resources from malaria control is not an option. #OurOnlyChoice is to #InvesttoEndMalaria to safeguard the future of a generation that needs us to act now. 

✨ Last week, we witnessed the power of innovation and teamwork come to life through the Zero Malaria Experience at London’s Outernet. This unique, immersive artwork took attendees on a journey into a world where malaria is no longer a threat – a future we can achieve through innovation, collaboration, and the right investment. We're incredibly grateful to those who brought this vision to life and our inspiring speakers from The Mill, Imperial College London, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and The Global Fund. Now it’s time to secure the critical investment needed to make sure current and future tools reach the people who need them most. Together we can make a zero malaria world a reality.
