MSH Webinar – Resilience in Action: Building Integrated Primary Health Systems to Eliminate Malaria
In recognition of World Malaria Day (WMD) 2023, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is convening policymakers and practitioners to examine the link between resilient integrated health systems and malaria elimination.
A strong, responsive, and sustainable health system is essential to address the complex challenges that affect malaria elimination and control. Despite the continued impact of COVID-19, strong primary health systems have enabled malaria cases and deaths to remain stable, but emerging and prevalent threats, including climate change and drug resistance, place malaria control and elimination at risk. This event will delve into investments, approaches, and innovations that build resilient systems and move the needle closer to zero malaria. Our expert panelists will share their insights and experiences in support of an integrated approach to tackling these challenges, and provide valuable recommendations for achieving our common goal to defeat malaria.
