MAWG – Africa Malaria Day January GSK, London

RBM Partnership MAWG Meeting | January | Africa Malaria Day is dedicated to raising awareness about malaria. The concept originated at the African Summit on Malaria in Abuja, Nigeria (25 April 2000) where African leaders from 44 malaria-endemic countries, seeking to highlight the gravity of the malaria situation on the continent, declared that 25 April of each year would be commemorated as Africa Malaria Day. Africa Malaria Day is an opportunity for ALL countries to reaffirm their commitment to reduce the burden of this disease and for the broader malaria community to show solidarity with countries battling against this scourge. Every year, Roll Back Malaria partners choose a common theme and slogan for the occasion. The RBM Partnership Secretariat hosts a dedicated website and helps coordinate and publicize partners' events. Africa Malaria Day 25 April
