In our final episode this year, we spoke with Jenn Gardy (Deputy Director, Malaria Surveillance, Data & Epidemiology, Gates Foundation) and Susan Rumisha (Principal Research Scientist and Lead, Malaria Atlas Project, Dar Node), to unlock the secrets to eradicating malaria by 2030.
They discuss the innovative approaches and daunting challenges in the ongoing battle against malaria. From preventive strategies like environmental modifications and dual active-ingredient (AI) insecticide-treated bed nets to addressing cultural and healthcare access gaps, our discussion paints a comprehensive picture of the current landscape and future directions.
We also reflect on the insights from the 2024 World Malaria Report, emphasizing the pressing need for increased funding to drive these global efforts forward.
