Leading UK-backed malaria scientists say the case for investment goes beyond #malaria itself. 88% say it strengthens pandemic preparedness 80% say it makes the UK safer 80% say it benefits UK public health Ending malaria is good for the world...and good for Britain

Great animation from our partner @mmv.org on the importance of simpler, more accessible tools. A single-dose cure is a major step forward. With malaria evolving, climate impacts, and drug resistance rising, these innovations are strengthening the ecosystem of tools that can eliminate the disease.

As #malaria becomes more complex, we need simpler tools. #Innovations like single-dose cures & long-acting injectables can accelerate elimination in complex settings. Because the best innovations are the ones people actually use. That’s what makes them elimination accelerators.

How can we better engage the public in global health conversations? How do we creatively communicate in ways that truly connect with people? Some of the questions we explored recently at our ‘Shaping the UK Conversation’ workshop with brilliant experts from across the global health sector.

British-backed science has helped build today’s antimalarial toolbox. Sustained support can get us closer to #ZeroMalaria. UK Parliamentarians explored tools behind progress against #malaria and innovations that can define what’s next at @malarianomoreuk.bsky.social #WorldMalariaDay event.

New research in @thelancet.com: the RTS,S malaria vaccine reduced child deaths by 13% in routine immunisation programmes across Ghana, Kenya and Malawi, averting around 1 in 8 deaths in eligible age groups.

Expert comment: Malaria vaccine averts 1 in 8 deaths in young children | LSHTM

A malaria vaccine has been shown to reduce overall child deaths by 13% in routine use, according to a new study, providing the clearest evidence to date that vaccination against malaria can save lives

We’re at a tipping point in the fight to end malaria. The Global Fund has helped save 70M lives since 2002, but progress is fragile. Cutting support now costs lives and strains health systems. With sustained investment and strong leadership, #ZeroMalaria can be within reach. buff.ly/FvbBKCm

A new UN report reveals that 4.9 million children died in 2024, and most of those deaths were preventable. Malaria alone accounted for 17% of deaths in children who survived beyond their first month of life. 🧵

Bringing vaccine manufacturing closer to where it’s needed most is critical to Africa-led #malaria innovation. From @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social Prof Faith Osier leads Chanjo Hub, working to expand vaccine manufacturing capacity across #Africa. Read more via Daily Nation: buff.ly/cduwgyX

Malaria is stealing futures. Children are the most vulnerable, yet their voices go unheard. Zero Malaria’s #ChangeTheStory campaign urges leaders to listen—because the choices they make today will save lives. The tools exist. Now leaders must invest in the Global Fund & act. 🌍
