GSK’s Post

Hoping this launch of the new drug, tafenoquine co-administered with cholroquinone can help eliminate the endemic faced by the countries affected. Even though the target for this drug is specific for Plasmodium vivax, there are many more types Plasmodium that causes malaria like P. ovale, P. falciparum, P. knowlesi and P. malariae. These are the most common types of Plasmodium species known to cause malaria. Looking forward for future R&D of new drugs in targeting these parasites. Well done GSK! #eliminatemalaria

As a medical professional, I am compelled to address one of the most significant global health challenges: malaria. Malaria, a mosquito-borne illness caused by Plasmodium parasites, continues to inflict a heavy toll on communities worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. The clinical presentation of malaria can vary from fever and chills to severe complications such as organ failure and cerebral malaria. While strides have been made in malaria control through vector control measures, prompt diagnosis, and effective treatment with antimalarial drugs, the battle is far from over. The emergence of drug-resistant strains and challenges in reaching remote populations underscore the urgency for innovative approaches and sustained investment in research, prevention, and treatment strategies. As medical professionals, it is incumbent upon us to advocate for policies that prioritize malaria eradication efforts, strengthen healthcare systems, and promote interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve our shared goal of a malaria-free world. Together, we can make significant strides towards mitigating the burden of this preventable and treatable disease. #MalariaAwareness #PublicHealth #EndMalaria

Malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease, has been a persistent threat to public health in Nigeria for decades. Despite substantial efforts to control and eradicate the disease, it still heavily affects the country's population, particularly among vulnerable communities. In this article, we'll explore the current status of malaria infections in Nigeria and the ongoing efforts to combat this deadly disease. To complement the government’s effort, Bispharm Clinical is working with sponsors and other stakeholders to avail Nigerians of frontier therapeutics. This includes developing new tools and strategies for malaria control and managing malaria vaccine trials using innovative and cost-effective models.

1) Parasitic Disease: Malaria is a life-threatening parasitic disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. It is primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. 2) Global Impact: Malaria is a significant public health problem, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 229 million malaria cases and 409,000 malaria-related deaths worldwide in 2019. 3) Most Affected Region: Sub-Saharan Africa bears the highest burden of malaria, accounting for about 94% of all malaria cases and deaths globally. 4) Symptoms: Common symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. If left untreated, malaria can progress to severe complications, such as organ failure, anemia, and cerebral malaria, which can be fatal. 5) Prevention: Malaria prevention primarily involves vector control measures, such as using insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying to reduce mosquito populations. Additionally, antimalarial medications can be used as preventive measures for individuals at high risk of infection. . . . #Malaria #ParasiticDisease #MosquitoBites #PublicHealthProblem

#grrf Special Day Update 25 April – World Malaria Day World Malaria Day, which takes place on 25 April each year, is an internationally recognized day, highlighting the global efforts to control malaria and celebrating the gains that have been made. Since 2000, the world has made historic progress against malaria, saving millions of lives. However, half the world still lives at risk from this preventable, treatable disease, which costs a child’s life every two minutes. El Salvador is the third country to have achieved malaria-free status in recent years in the WHO Region of the Americas, following Argentina in 2019 and Paraguay in 2018. Seven countries in the region were certified from 1962 to 1973. Globally, a total of 38 countries and territories have reached this milestone. India is NOT featured in this list. A total of 3, 38,494 cases and 77 deaths were reported in 2019 in India. This day aims to reduce malaria cases and deaths due to it. #grrf #malaria #disease #who #preventable #health #people

🎉 In 2024, Ghana will enter a 'malaria elimination' phase, marking a step forward in the country's ongoing fight against the epidemic. According to a recent Semafor article, Ghana will progress from its current 'control' phase— where disease control efforts are focused on reducing the number of people infected to as few as possible— to an 'elimination' phase, which will focus on stopping local transmission of #malaria altogether. The article also featured quotes from Ghana Health Service Director General Dr. Patrick Aboagye, who noted that malaria infections and deaths had reduced significantly 📉 after RTS,S, the first malaria vaccine approved by the World Health Organization, was piloted four years ago. 📰 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eTYyH2hU
