Disease Control: Malaria and NTDs - Malaria Consortium at 10
In February 2014, Malaria Consortium hosted a 10th anniversary symposium to celebrate a decade helping to manage communicable diseases and improve child health among the most vulnerable and marginalised.
The first session, presented by Dr James Tibenderana (Malaria Consortium Development Director), entitled 'Disease Control: Malaria and NTDs', outlined Malaria Consortium's commitment to technical excellence and collaboration, focusing on the organisation's work on long lasting insecticidal net distribution, universal access to parasite-based diagnosis and case management of malaria with artemisinin-based combination therapy.
Dr James Tibenderana was joined by fellow panellists Dr Bernard Nahlen (President's Malaria Initiative, USAID), Dr Godfrey Magumba (Malaria Consortium Uganda), and Dr Desmond Chavasse (Population Services International). The session was chaired by Malaria Consortium's Chief Executive, Charles Nelson.
