Malaria is evolving faster than our drugs can keep up. 
Resistance is spreading. Lives are at risk.

But what if we could predict the parasite's next move?

Introducing AIMaR – a project at ACE-Uganda, funded by @Googleorg, using AI to outsmart malaria.

Tools that think ahead of the bug. 17 institutions. 10 African countries. One room. Last week,the mission was clear:figure out how AI can actually fight AMR.Not in theory, but in practice across African health systems. What started in that room isn't staying there. #AIinAMRUG2026
