MSH has been fighting malaria for three decades in over 40 countries. The challenges and consequences of malaria are complex and far-reaching for individuals, communities, and health organizations, requiring multiple paths to successful prevention and treatment. Our malaria technical experts will be joining the ASTMH annual meeting again this year, presenting on our programmatic tools and approaches to improving quality of care for malaria in Nigeria, Benin, and Madagascar. ASTMH, the largest international scientific organization of experts dedicated to reducing the worldwide burden of tropical infectious diseases and improving global health, is being held in person this year from October 30th to November 3rd in Seattle, Washington, USA.
