We are potential victims of malaria. It is sad women bear the biggest burden. Every year, millions of pregnant women and children under the age of five are vulnerable to malaria, with children making up 2/3 of malaria deaths. Let’s fight for a Malaria Free World @TargetMalaria
Thank you for engaging with Target Malaria this #WorldMalariaDay! The next #WMD is a long way away, but in the year ahead, we will continue to raise awareness about #Malaria, stand strong with the community and champion the voices of those affected!
Half of the world’s population lives at risk of dying from a mosquito bite. The fight against malaria is real and needs critical attention. If we #invest in malaria control, #innovate new tools, and #implement sustainable approaches, together we can #EndMalaria and save lives.
Travellers to Kalangala and Buwaya have felt the impact of Lake Victoria's water rising level this afternoon at Nakiwogo landing site in Entebbe, as many struggled to access the ferry and boats as a result of flooded walkways....
El Nino has caused flooding in most parts of East Africa. Communities are overwelmed by heavy rains causing multiple flooded spots. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, increasing the risk of malaria. Clear stagnant water to reduce the breeding sites for mosquitoes. #EndMalaria
Sarah Nawampande is a village health team member at the Virus Ward, Uganda. She advises people with #Malaria symptoms to seek medical help as soon as possible to receive treatment. #WorldMalariaDay #TargetMalariaUganda #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe
While malaria does not discriminate, its burden falls heavily on women worsening health and poverty. As patients, caregivers, or healthcare workers, women and adolescent girls face unique vulnerabilities to Malaria. To End Malaria, We Must champion Health Equity! @TargetMalaria
To all that raise awareness and promote World Malaria Day campaigns and messages, Thank You very much! Every voice matters and every step counts to fighting this deadly disease that kills thousands every year. Together, we can #EndMalaria! @TargetMalari #WorldMalariaDay
It is unfortunate that a child dies of malaria every minute. This loss of lives is unacceptable. Many of these deaths are preventable and treatable. Let us champion the fight against this deadly disease.@TargetMalaria @MinofHealthUG #EndMalaria #WorldMalariaDay
Esther Babirye Nakazibwe of Lwazi Village in Uganda is a stakeholder who has engaged with Target Malaria. She calls for new innovations and investment to help #EndMalaria! Watch here: youtube.com/watch?v=dCXWel… #WorldMalariaDay #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #TargetMalariaUganda
Today is World Malaria Day! Malaria killed over 600,000 people last year. We should step up the fight against this deadly disease by creating awareness, using available tools, advocate for more funding and innovation. @TargetMalaria @MinofHealthUG #EndMalaria #WorldMalariaDay
Meet Patience Arinaitwe! @LukengePatience @UVRIug @TargetMalaria believes #engagement is crucial to build strong collaboration with communities in the fight against #malaria. #WorldMalariaDay #SheFightsMalaria
Deo Karungi is the chairperson of the Boda Boda Group at Virus Ward, Uganda and this #WorldMalariaDay he is supporting research and measures to help #EndMalaria! #ZeroMalaria #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #TargetMalariaUganda
Children under 5 and pregnant women are the most affected by #Malaria, yet their voices often go unheard. This #WorldMalariaDay it's time to Change the Story for millions of people and reach #ZeroMalaria🌍🦟 #AccelerateTheFight #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe
Joshua Bikadho, the security supervisor at @UVRIug, calls for new tools to help #EndMalaria. Watch his Voices From the Field video here: youtube.com/watch?v=tpd171… #WorldMalariaDay #ZeroMalaria #TargetMalariaUganda #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe
UVRI Director Prof Pontiano Kaleebu says there are still many challenges in finding a Vaccine for HIV. Speaking at commemoration of the World Immunization week, Prof Kaleebu says many studies/trials have been conducted but the virus is complex and vaccine remains elusive.@UVRIug
It's the World Immunization Week..UVRI, WHO, and IAVI are commemorating this week under the global theme "Celebrating 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization" with a couple of events. UVRI Director Prof Pontiano Kaleebu is presenting on the elusiveness of HIV Vaccine..
Do NOT ignore a fever. Go to the nearest health facility and get tested for #Malaria immediately and follow your health worker's guidance. #WorldMalariaDay24 #MalariaFreeUG
This #WorldMalariaDay, Hajara Nakendo of the Uganda Parliamentary Forum on Malaria @upfm_malaria calls for the intensification of the use of current tools, and the need for new tools to help #EndMalaria! #ZeroMalariaStartsWithMe #TargetMalariaUganda
I have taken a malaria test and confirmed NEGATIVE. Every effort against malaria, however little it may be, makes a difference. You never know you may be the next reservoir/carrier of parasites that may get others sick. Malaria is Real. Check your status before it's too late...
