Excellency,
Statement on the 2024 World Malaria Day, by Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) (https://druzodinmadirieje.blogspot.com/2024/04/statement-on-2024-world-m...)
During the global Colloquium organized by the Afrihealth Optonet Association (AHOA) on 23 April 2024 to commemorate the 2024 World Malaria Day, participants from over 50 countries discussed the ongoing issue of malaria and the need for enhancing the meaningful engagement of civil society and non-state actors to achieve gender mainstreaming, health equity, and human rights in malaria elimination. They emphasized the significance of partnerships, and the need for gender and health equity in malaria control and elimination efforts, including the urgent need for universal introduction, availability, and accessibility of the malaria vaccine(s) as approved by the World Health Organization (WHO); and the imperative of promoting the use of proven locally available traditional/natural and alternate remedies for malaria, with Madagascar being mentioned as having many traditional treatments for the disease. Concerns were also expressed about the impact of climate change and climate crises on malaria, which calls for urgent attention by everyone.
