High-level round table: “Innovating together to end malaria”

The 2025 theme for World Malaria Day is “Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite.” This theme underscores the need for shared responsibility in the fight against malaria – especially in today’s increasingly complex global health landscape.

On 25 April, WHO, the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), the RBM Partnership to End Malaria and FIND will co-host a roundtable discussion at the Global Health Campus in Geneva, “Innovating together to end malaria.”
