World Malaria Day 2022 | Harnessing Innovation To Reduce The Malaria Disease Burden And Save Lives.

World Malaria Day (WMD) is an international observance commemorated every year on the 25th of April. It is a day set aside to recognize the global efforts in combating Malaria. WMD, first observed in 2008, evolved out of Africa Malaria Day, which had been observed annually since 2001, when African Leaders meeting under the auspices of the African Union signed the Abuja Declaration, committing to step-up efforts in fighting and eradicating Malaria in Africa. The theme for World Malaria Day 2022 is to harness innovation to reduce the malaria disease burden and save lives.

Antenatal Classes, Empowering New Mothers

Her Online Courses Are Empowering Young Mothers In Zimbabwe

“One challenge we faced is that new mothers don’t have the time to take antenatal classes,” Joy says. “So we decided to put our classes online.As new parents, it’s important to have as much information as possible about pregnancy, labour, and birth. Midwives are instrumental in this, teaching mothers not only how to handle and nurse their babies, but also what to expect as new mothers — services doctors can be too busy to provide.”
