New @WHO evaluation finds RTS,S malaria vaccination is saving children’s lives in routine immunisation programmes.

It estimates 1 in 8 child deaths were averted in high-burden settings.

@LSHTM experts explain the significance of the findings.

New research led by @ndeyfa2, a PhD student @LSHTM, shows malaria drug resistance isn’t driven by a single mutation, but a complex combination of genetic changes that help parasites with legacy mutations survive newer treatments.

A really inspirational story about mobilising the community to reduce local cases of malaria.

[LSHTM_malaria @LSHTM_malaria]

For many, malaria is a statistic. For @ObetaOdinaka, it’s personal.

Ahead of #WorldMalariaDay, his story shows why awareness is not enough and why communities must be at the centre of the fight.
