Last week at MalariaWorld: El Salvador malaria free, job opportunity, 2 events and more...
Noble work
On behalf of the entire MalariaWorld team, I congratulate El Salvador that has been declared malaria-free by the WHO on 25 February 2021! A major achievement. These kind of achievements make it undoubtedly clear that in the current situation we can collaborate and organise events in virtual reality, like the free World Malaria Day Symposium by JHMRI. But we cannot actually eliminate malaria with zoom meetings. We can talk, discuss and plan but making things happen in the communities where it is needed most is something different. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to express my respect to all frontline health workers who commit themselves to taking care of others at risk of their own health. I wish you courage and strength.
Stay healthy, stay safe and enjoy MalariaWorld

For African leaders, the threat was familiar. The continent copes daily with societal and economic disruption caused by infectious diseases, which have returned to plague both lower-income and richer nations in the past year...
