PATH Malaria Webinars
We hold regular PATH malaria webinars on a variety of topics, featuring speakers from across the global malaria community.
On March 23, we held a webinar on malaria vaccines and opportunities and challenges over the next 5 years. The first malaria vaccine to be recommended and prequalified by WHO is moving into broader implementation, while a leading malaria vaccine candidate is in Phase 3 evaluation. Other immunization approaches, including monoclonal antibodies and mRNA vaccines, are in development. This webinar explored key challenges to vaccine development and access—financial, scientific, and delivery—with perspectives offered by experts in their respective fields.
On December 8, we held a webinar on reaching communities with malaria control interventions, and we were joined by representatives from the Zambia National Malaria Elimination Centre, Impact Santé Afrique, AMREF Health Africa, and Catholic Relief Services. During the session, a number of topics were discussed, including how to scale innovative approaches, enhancing access to quality malaria diagnosis, expanding delivery approaches for chemoprevention, and how to activate civil society organizations and communities.
On September 27, we held a webinar on the use of data to inform decision-making. During the webinar, our team of experts at PATH discussed approaches and best practices for malaria modeling and data analytics, lessons learned in collaborating with national program managers through case studies from Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as well as techniques to strengthen capacity-building.
