#Bicycles are vital to our life saving project! They provide means for emergency transport in hard-to-reach communities and allow CHVs to safely transport vulnerable children w/ suspected severe #malaria to primary health facilities for follow on care 🚫🦟

Happy #WorldBicycleDay

RT: "Interesting panel at #WHA72 on malaria innovations. RAS was noted as important new medicine but more focus on prevention".

RAS administered at community level is a pre-referral drug that allows children with suspected severe #malaria to reach life saving primary health care

Community Health Volunteers are at the heart of our efforts to reduce severe malaria mortality in children under-six in remote areas in Zambia. Did you know that #dance is one of the ways in which they educate community members on the danger signs of severe malaria?
