With support from the @USAIDWestAfrica Building a Resilient Health System project & @Chemonics, Senegal’s Saint-Louis region is close to sub-national elimination of #malaria. Learn more about how we're supporting this important milestone: https://t.co/EZ2zSDVmKk
This #WorldMosquitoDay, let’s recognize the impact of #ClimateChange on mosquito-borne diseases like #malaria. Complementary & adaptable solutions like medicines 💊, #vaccines 💉 & vector control 🛡 are needed to tackle evolving challenges. Together, we can defeat this disease.
Check out this blog I co-authored with Jeanine Musau and @mulampofu on improving malaria prevention in the DRC through innovative community health strategies. A must-read for those interested in public health advancements! 🌍💉 #MalariaPrevention https://t.co/86uXwj4eMh

@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A9: Optimise current interventions, tailor deployment, continue to innovate while protecting the existing tools against vector and parasite resistance.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics By fostering partnerships, sharing information, and leveraging expertise from donors, researchers, and the private sector, ministries of health can drive innovation, secure funding, and maximize the impact of interventions.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A8:
To ensure a unified approach to ending malaria, ministries of health and partners must establish clear goals, strengthen coordination, mobilize resources, promote research and innovation, and advocate for political commitment.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics One of the lessons learned is that conducting community dialogues ahead of delivery of interventions helps in better understanding how best to deliver messages and mobilise, and how to access marginalised population groups which helps in ensuring optimal reach.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A6: Community engagement, training, utilisation of #CHWs, and use of data to identify communities left behind, adapting to local context, and strengthening supply chains.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics To optimize their reach against malaria, we can provide comprehensive training, strengthen supply chains, recognize their contributions, enhance accessibility through transportation support and technology, address cultural barriers, and involve communities in decision- making.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A4: Community health workers (CHWs) face challenges such as limited training/resources, lack of recognition/support, accessibility issues, and community acceptance.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics Local policy frameworks that lack inclusivity, fail to respond to specific challenges faced by hard-to-reach populations, such as geographic isolation, cultural barriers, or limited healthcare infrastructure, can impede delivery of responsive malaria services to these communities
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A2: Restrictions imposed by donor priorities and local policies can limit the ability of implementing partners to adapt and tailor their approaches to fit the unique needs and contexts of hard-to-reach populations.
@FightingMalaria @Chemonics #ActionstoEndMalaria chat A1: A strong health system infrastructure and equitable distribution of human and material resources are fundamental to effective #malaria services. They form the essential foundation for preventing, diagnosing, and treating the disease.
Read my @Chemonics colleagues @juliebecker49@Clara_Harb_ & Alphonse Sileke's new blog on how the @pmigov@USAIDGH End Malaria Project in #DRC is advancing #gender integration to fight against #malaria & respond to the unique needs of different groups: https://t.co/ezx5sqL6ym
As part of the @USAID Integrated Malaria Program (IMaP), @mulampofu, @SemoBaz, Antonio Mussa & @CareyWalovich support the #Mozambique#NMCP efforts to control #malaria. In this @Chemonics blog, they discuss 3 approaches that led to successful outcomes: https://t.co/32Z3JVzmRq
