“Voices of Malaria”

This World Malaria Day, MESA thanks the malaria community around the world who are fighting this disease, every day.

Using footage filmed at the Keystone Symposia and MESA coordinated meeting, “Malaria: From Innovation to Eradication” in Kampala, Uganda in 2017, MESA has compiled the personal reflections from some members of the malaria community and their fight against the disease into a short film. 

It will take all of us to beat malaria, listen here to some of the voices that are helping us get there.

Watch the trailers that led us to the film release [here].
