Bangkok, April 23, 2019 – Asian malaria experts surveyed in a new report are saying that new tools are needed as the disease is becoming resistant to existing prevention and therapy measures. They called for continued investment in R&D for new antimalarials and insecticides to achieve the World Health Organization’s 2030 elimination targets.

Maputo, 19 November 2018 – The RBM Partnership to End Malaria today calls on countries to step up their efforts and investment to end one of the world’s oldest and deadliest diseases.

Catalyzed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the RBM Partnership, and supported by global partners, the “High burden to high impact: A targeted malaria response”, launched today alongside WHO’s World malaria report 2018, outlines new actions to reignite progress in the malaria fight.

In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Malaria Programme issued recommendations on the sound management of old long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).
