💬 “We face a series of new headwinds in the fight against #malaria … climate shocks, insecticide resistance, drug resistance… So, while we are really excited to celebrate @PMIgov's 20th anniversary, the work continues.” - @drdavidwalton at #TropMed24.

Strengthening health systems needs concerted efforts across multiple dimensions to ensure effectiveness & resilience. Collaborative international partnerships & political will are a MUST to address global health challenges such as pandemics & universal health coverage #astmh2024

Today we celebrate a critical milestone on the journey towards a malaria free world. Egypt has been certified malaria free by our partners at @WHO! @PMIgov applauds this achievement and all of the local leadership that has been the driving force towards this momentous occasion.

[RBM Partnership @endmalaria]

Huge congratulations to #Egypt on being certified #MalariaFree by @WHO! 

This milestone is a testament to nearly a century of dedication by the government, health professionals, and communities in eliminating a disease that has impacted the country for thousands of years.

Thank you @drdavidwalton, @PMIgov Global Malaria Coordinator of @USAID, for meeting with @IfedayoTiffy and I, to discuss strategic collaboration with @FINDdx on closing the diagnostics gap for #Malaria and other fevers & particularly for hard-to-reach groups like pregnant women.

[David Walton @drdavidwalton]

Thanks to @beatmalaria for hosting an incredible side event at #UNGA79, bringing partners together to highlight and emphasize advancing localization, and continue to center communities in our work.

[RBM Partnership @endmalaria]

On the sidelines of #UNGA79, we're focusing on the #NextChapterOfProgress in the fight against malaria.

Uniting with @unfoundation and @beatmalaria to strengthen innovative local-global partnerships - key to progressing solutions that meet the unique needs of communities.

[U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) @PMIgov]

Africa is home to 94% of the world’s malaria cases but only produces a small fraction of the supplies needed to prevent, test, and treat malaria. That’s why PMI is working to accelerate the growth of regional manufacturing.

[David Walton @drdavidwalton]

.@PMIgov continues to evolve, and our commitment to investing locally is emblematic of that evolution. We have listened to the calls of countries, partners, and the malaria community and we are taking actionable steps to change/evolve how we work with partner counties.

[U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) @PMIgov]

🦟 Did you hear that? The buzz of World Mosquito Day is in the air! 🦟 Today PMI is proud to release our Vision Statement for Investing Locally—setting ambitious goals to ⬆️ leadership from local & regional organizations across our partner countries. https://t.co/9ZN7eWARd4

[Chris Elias @ChrisJElias]

In just four years, new dual-insecticide bed nets have prevented 13 million malaria cases—a true game-changer by @GlobalFund, @PMIgov & partners.

This #WorldMosquitoDay, let's commit to investing in innovative mosquito control tools to protect millions more. 🌍🦟

[Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance @gavi]

Malaria interventions have saved 11.7 million lives and prevented 2.1 BILLION cases between 2000 and 2022. But the fight isn’t over yet. Read how ambitious new targets will boost African health and economies: https://t.co/5zFHPWFZqz Via @wef
