World Health Day, celebrated on 7 April 2025, will kick off a year-long campaign on maternal and newborn health. The campaign, titled Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures, will urge governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being.
International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. Since those early years, International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for women in developed and developing countries alike.
World Malaria Day is an occasion to highlight the need for continued investment and sustained political commitment for malaria prevention and control. It was instituted by WHO Member States during the World Health Assembly of 2007.
The Alliance for Malaria Prevention, housed and chaired by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), and a member of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria (RBM), organizes its annual meeting as a platform for national malaria programs and partners engaged in insecticide-treated net (ITN) distribution. With a focus on campaign and continuous distribution channels, the meeting offers an opportunity for vector control stakeholders to share experiences, innovations and best practices for optimizing ITN access and use.
The RBM Partnership to End Malaria has convened with its partners to review and harmonise communication strategies for the Big Push – a renewed global effort to eliminate malaria in Africa.
The RBM Advocacy and Communications Workshop, held at the Convention Centre in Kigali, Rwanda, brought together policymakers, donor agencies, civil society organisations, health practitioners, advocacy groups, communicators, and public servants. Participants engaged in strategic discussions to strengthen global coordination and enhance malaria advocacy efforts.
