This month marked World Health Worker Week and World Health Day. To
commemorate these occasions we reflected on community health workers and their
role extending healthcare to millions of people in rural communities around the
world. Read our latest blogs to learn about some of the front line
community health workers providing crucial health services in Malaria
Consortium projects. Later this month on April 25 we will celebrate World Malaria Day. Malaria
Consortium will co-host a UK parliamentary event highlighting the economic benefits
of tackling malaria as well as the effectiveness and high impact UK Aid funded
projects have had in reducing the malaria burden. Please
join us by sharing your stories this World Malaria Day using the hashtag
