RT: "Interesting panel at #WHA72 on malaria innovations. RAS was noted as important new medicine but more focus on prevention". RAS administered at community level is a pre-referral drug that allows children with suspected severe #malaria to reach life saving primary health care

Community Health Volunteers are at the heart of our efforts to reduce severe malaria mortality in children under-six in remote areas in Zambia. Did you know that #dance is one of the ways in which they educate community members on the danger signs of severe malaria? #endmalaria
