🌍 World Children’s Day reminds us why we do this work.

Grateful to all our partners who move with us toward one goal: better #medicines for every #child.

🎥 Sharing a short video that captures our “why.”

In the run-up to #WorldChildrensDay, the first-ever PADO for #Malaria report is now live!

This @WHO -led process sets priority actions to accelerate development & access to optimal malaria treatments for children.

It also aligns with ongoing WHO work — including the review of artemether–lumefantrine for neonates (a PADO-priority product!) for potential inclusion in @WHO guidelines.

📢Delighted to amplify the new #WHO Model List of Essential Medicines for Children 📘

GAP-f contributed by assessing age appropriateness of approximately 290 #medicines using the #QTPP tool to inform removal of 92 outdated formulations & addition of 163 new ones- a big step for contributing towards #Bettermeds4kids🌍👶

Many essential medicines are not designed for children.

That means crushed pills, inaccurate doses, and bitter tastes that make treatment hard to take.

@GAP_f_Network is working to close this gap.

#HealthForAll

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Too many children are given medicines that were never properly tested for them.

That means imprecise dosing—and real risks.

💡 The @GAP_f_Network is changing the game.

They’re fast-tracking the development of medicines made for children—not just scaled-down versions of adult treatments.

Check it out: https://t.co/V5VtRLQzfl

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

The @GAP_f_Network is improving access to medicines designed for children — but it can’t do it alone.

It takes a village.

Ensuring children get access to the medicines they need means working hand-in-hand with communities, countries, regulators, funders, private sector entities, and health care professionals.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

The new strategy to invest in children’s health by @GAP_f_Network sets a clear direction for 2030:
🔹 Focus on the most urgent diseases
🔹 Speed up access to key medicines
🔹 Strengthen the paediatric medicines ecosystem

A $40M investment means lives saved with no time lost.
