This Global Malaria Congress is Important.

In the last 3 to 4 years the world has suffered continuous COVID-19 disruptions. These disruptions affected all aspects of our lives, including the stalling of progress which previously was made towards the elimination of malaria.

According to the WHO World Malaria report 2021, malaria deaths and cases increased globally by 12% and 6% respectively. That is 241 million individuals whose lives and communities are negatively affected by the burden of this disease. Malaria predominately impacts children under 5, pregnant women and the elderly. Due to COVID disruptions it is now estimated a child under 5 dies almost every minute of malaria, even though malaria is treatable and curable.

 The Global Malaria Congress 2023 is an opportunity for organizations and individuals, experts and interested, to come together for the first time since COVID and share, educate and discuss how to Finish the Fight Against Malaria

 What to expect at the Global Malaria Congress

There will be the opportunity to engage in more in-depth breakout sessions for specific areas of interest you. Our ambition is for you to leave the congress better informed about malaria elimination initiatives and progress, with new like-minded contacts and relationships; and more inspired to Finish the Fight Against Malaria.
