We are pleased to invite you to Tackling malaria: A win-win for saving lives and preventing future pandemics, our upcoming virtual event.

As we approach the G7 Summit in June, the event will explore how the G7 can support and work with malaria endemic countries to strengthen local health systems in some of the most vulnerable communities to help counter existing disease threats such as COVID-19 and malaria, as well as detect and prevent future pandemics.

In 2021, five virtual events replaced the annual face-to-face meeting of the Working Group

Dear Partners, 

On behalf of the RBM Partner Committees and RBM Partnership Secretariat, we would like to invite you to the join our session on 'Multisectoral Action to End Malaria' scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 1 June from 16.00 - 17.00 CET.

In 2019 an estimated 405,000 lives were lost to malaria globally. About 67% of these were children under the age of five.
In 2012, Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC), a cost-effective intervention recommended by the World Health Organization, was introduced to protect children aged 3 – 59 months living in the Sahel regions of West and Central Africa, where malaria transmission is highest during and shortly after the rainy season.

On April 25, Pharmacists all over Nigeria will be commemorating World Malaria Day by engaging their community through health outreaches, distribution of printed information about malaria prevention, malaria testing and other forms of health education programs. Pharmacists will also be gathering data from the community to assess people's awareness of malaria disease. Organized by the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria.

Celebration will be done in 2 modes:
- On 23 April 2021: reception and distribution of some key health equipment procured with the GF support in one HF located in Dakar.
- On 25 April 2021: a TV program will be aired and also other communication channels will be used for the dissemination of messages.
