World Malaria Day is a pivotal moment in the calendar for the malaria community. It is a chance to come together, to raise awareness of the fight to end malaria and also to shine a light on the challenges we have in eliminating this devastating disease.

Not only does this disease directly endanger health it also perpetuates a cycle of inequity.  The disease disproportionately disadvantages those communities and social groups that are already facing economic, societal and health challenges.
