Malaria remains a major cause of illness among children in many countries, where both Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum are endemic. Recurrent infections can lead to anaemia, poor health outcomes, and disruptions to child development. Recent advances, including updated WHO guidance on paediatric radical cure, emerging evidence on tafenoquine, point-of-care G6PD testing, and child-friendly malaria medicines for P. falciparum, are creating new opportunities to improve paediatric malaria care. This TechTalks webinar will bring together experts to discuss the latest evidence, operational experiences, and practical strategies for expanding access to safe and effective malaria diagnosis, treatment, and radical cure for children.
