Le projet en bref
Contexte Despite the great success of malaria-deaths being reduced by half globally since 2000, still 453’000 people die from malaria every year and 2017 data suggest that the decline in mortality has come to a halt. Malaria continues to affect approximately 200 million people annually and traps them in poverty without any significant progress over the last years. Swiss academia, industry, public sector institutions and non-governmental organisations play a central role in the global fight against malaria. Switzerland is an innovation hub for malaria control and elimination products and strategies. The Swiss Malaria Group (SMG) brings together 16 Swiss-based institutions for a malaria-free world. It covers the whole intervention chain, from research and innovation to large-scale implementation and advocacy on the ground. Swiss actors are engaged in the research and development of improved medicines, diagnostics, vaccines, bed nets, integrated vector control methods, and insecticides. Swiss Malaria Group members advocate for strong health systems and are raising awareness on a global scale to achieve the goals of ending malaria. In this phase SDC will invite the Group to broaden its scope, consider inter-sectorial interventions and address other global health challenges.
Objectifs Increase and sustain Swiss commitment to end malaria.
