Summary: As the globe observed ‘World Malaria Day’ on April 25th, our TWiGH team discussed Malaria and role of ASTMH (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene). This episode highlights how fake/low-quality drugs cause 20% of all malaria deaths, the most and least affected regions by malaria and why those regions have those rates. As a disease, Malaria has a huge burden (half of the world is at risk) especially among children.
In this episode, TWiGH talks about economic costs, current progress, and the challenges of Malaria and drug resistance. Also, find out about organizations working tirelessly to end Malaria.
