Africa: World Malaria Day 2024 - 'Accelerating the Fight Against Malaria for a More Equitable World'

, WHO has joined forces with the RBM Partnership and other partners to spotlight the critical importance of advancing health equity, gender equality and human rights in malaria responses worldwide.

Too many people continue to miss out on the services and information they need to prevent, detect and treat malaria, especially those experiencing disadvantage, discrimination and exclusion. We need to strengthen and step up our support for these populations - not only is it our moral duty, it is the best way to get back on track to achieve our global malaria targets., particularly in countries that carry a high burden of disease.

Reaching, engaging and empowering these populations with targeted, gender-responsive and culturally-sensitive interventions and services is an important strategy for achieving our collective vision of a malaria-free world.Malaria responses can be strengthened by stepping up investment in the research and development of new tools that benefit all people at risk of the disease, and especially the poorest and most marginalized populations.
