It‘s been an exciting first day of our symposium “Malaria in Focus” at @swisstph.ch. Presentations covered exciting work done to increase our understanding of #malaria & drive innovation into new & better tools. Looking forward to more discussions tomorrow on how innovations can have a real #impact.
Last week, @swisstph.ch Director Jürg Utzinger and I visited our long-term partner, the Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research #PNGIMR. We renewed our MoU, met inspiring Swiss TPH / @unibas.ch alumni, and explored new research directions. A productive and truly inspiring visit to #PNG!
🇸🇷 And here’s another example how sustained commitment, investment, collaboration and inclusivity can bring about positive health impact! Congratulations to #Suriname on being certified #malaria free by @who.int!

In a landmark public health achievement, Papua New Guinea has been validated by WHO for eliminating #trachoma as a public health problem. Trachoma, a neglected tropical disease & the world’s leading infectious cause of blindness, no longer poses a public health threat in the country.
