Child-friendly #malaria meds are essential to elimination.
@who.int prequalification of paediatric primaquine formulations is a major step forward for efficacious, age-appropriate treatment for children, helping prevent relapse and reduce transmission 👉 bit.ly/4ptG6w9

How can we go farther and faster together in the fight against #malaria? By leaning into our role as impatient optimists.

At #ASTMH25, MMV and @gatesfoundation.bsky.social reaffirmed our belief in a malaria-free future and a bold, science-driven path forward. 🎥 bit.ly/44OOyOP

Despite setbacks & emerging threats, progress against #malaria continues.

Since 2000, billions of cases & millions of deaths have been averted & more countries are now malaria-free. Cabo Verde, Egypt, Georgia, Suriname & Timor-Leste show that zero malaria is possible.

#Malaria is often seen as inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be. Phase 3 results for GanLum, developed by Novartis & MMV, could further expand the antimalarial toolbox. But funding & political will remain the biggest barriers to access and #innovation 👉 bit.ly/3MIZabP

The #WorldMalariaReport is clear: drug resistance is advancing. Our response must be just as clear: new meds with new mechanisms of action.

Collaboration, commitment & funding can keep us ahead of resistance & help deliver next-gen meds to ensure #malaria is no longer a threat.
