Today is the World Malaria Day, first instituted in 2007 by WHO Member States. This year’s theme is «Harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives», aiming to highlight that progress in malaria elimination has been stalled in the last years. Sustained investment and political commitment are urgently needed to reach the 2030 WHO’s goals of the global malaria strategy. It includes new vector control measures, diagnostics and antimalarial medicines to get back on track against this deadly disease.
